Bringing Finnish Innovation to LA28 Here’s what Finnish innovators Unikie & Younite have to say about LA28: “If you look at the LA28 games plan, there is a strong commitment to sustainability. This is not an easy target when you’re talking about moving massive amounts of people around a region that is known for having significant issues with traffic. Automating vehicle driving and services that move people to/from venues can certainly be part of the solution here, and that’s where Unikie’s expertise comes in. Full automation, controlled by the Unikie Marshalling Solution, enables vehicles being driven remotely and safely. To some extent, the focus has been on moving people from the main airport, but there’s so much more we can do here, such as smart parking in the games mobility hubs and even leveraging automated vehicles to transport visitors from the hubs to/from the venues. There is a lot that technology can help with at LA28, ” said Wes Wright, Vice President, Unikie, provider of automated marshalling solutions and software engineering services. "AI has changed the game, and that's why Younite wants to be part of creating a winning Olympic and Paralympic experience. AI combined with immersive user interfaces and photorealistic digital twins enables seamless interaction between the physical and the virtual arenas. This enhances accessibility, safety and the game experience for all Olympic and Paralympic-goers.” – Laura Olin, Chief of Staff, Younite, provider of AI-powered digital tools for cities, venues, and real estate.

43 months to LA28!
Leading Customer Partnerships at VTT. Igniting new business and driving tested solutions to fruitful markets. Research, Development & Innovation, Design Governance, Go-to-Market, Commercialisation.
Greetings from Los Angeles. I am meeting our customers, participating the well-organized business delegation and attending CoMotion LA mobility event. The olympics is 43 months away and the planning is getting hotter. Decisions and procurements that are made today affect years to come. For a car city, which LA definitely is, the shift to public transportation and multi-modal services is a challenge. Kudos to Business Finland, Consulate of Finland and accompanying partners for creating a smooth program. A big thank you to LA Mayor’s Office, LA Metro, LADOT and Jacobs for preparing insightful meetings. #vttbeyondtheobvious #businessfinland #losangeles #comotion #la28 #lametro #ladot #jacobs #aecom #hntb #caltrans #kempower #nokia #danskebank

Bringing Finnish Innovation to LA28? As we look forward to the LA28 Olympics and Paralympics, Finnish innovators are in L.A., bringing their expertise and innovative solutions to enhance the event. Here’s what some of the Finnish innovators are saying about LA28:? "The City of Tampere is one of Europe’s leading, many times award-winning smart cities, leveraging its compact size to enable city-wide experimentation and foster exceptionally close collaboration with companies, educational institutions, research organizations, and other cities. This unique approach positions Tampere as a driving force behind innovative solutions that not only benefit our community but also offer adaptable, scalable solutions for co-innovation, which can be replicated and further developed according to diverse needs. With the state-of-the-art Nokia Arena, serving as a testing platform for companies and new technologies, and multiple mobility labs open for international use, Tampere actively welcomes collaboration with Los Angeles as it prepares for 2028, exploring shared solutions to enhance services for both visitors and residents alike.” - Outi Valkama, Lead of the Data-Driven City for Citizens Development Program in the City of Tampere, Finland “Smart City Innovation Cluster has been engaging with the Los Angeles area for over two years now. Currently, we are concepting ways to maximize the LA28 visitor experience, based off learnings from the stadiums and integrations with the surrounding businesses and infrastructure in Finland,” said Pertti Kortej?rvi, CEO at SCIC.io,? a non-profit ecosystem working to solve smart city challenges.

Today's Turun Sanomat / Liisa Enkvist's article discusses the US presidential election and it's influence on trade relations between our countries.
Today's Turun Sanomat / Liisa Enkvist's article discusses the US presidential election and it's influence on trade relations between our countries. I believe the US market will continue to be more important for Finland and already in 2023 the United States become Finland's most significant trade partner.
