Networking activities during the event
During Business Arena Finland 2027, we will continue to host several exclusive, closed, and curated networking activities. Each networking activity begins with a networking reception, followed by an introduction from a keynote speaker, after which we take our seats for the roundtable discussions.
We will host the following networking activities:

All networking activities are by invitation only.
Capital Meets Cities
Welcome to an exclusive breakfast session in conjunction with Business Arena Finland. This closed, high-level gathering brings together domestic and international investors alongside selected representatives from Finnish cities for a focused networking opportunity before the main programme begins.
Designed as a round table discussion, the session creates space for direct dialogue, exchange of perspectives, and meaningful connections between the investment community and public-sector decision-makers. Discussions will focus on the investment environment, growth drivers, and future opportunities in Finnish cities.
