Think BIG

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Welcome to the most impactful energy industry event of the year!

Our region is witnessing a transformation in the energy sector: billions of euros are being invested in clean energy production and electricity networks. This development is not just a regional opportunity – it is a national showcase for how the clean transition can be made a reality.

The event brings together once again all the companies developing clean transition projects in the region, as well as local businesses and experts. The event is a meeting place for leading players in the energy sector, regional and national decision-makers, and investors. At the same time, participants have a unique opportunity to be part of creating Finland's clean transition story – promoting international investment, strengthening regional development, and building solutions towards a carbon-neutral society.

The program brings experts and future makers to the stage. THINK BIG is not just a seminar, but an opportunity to influence, create new contacts, and business opportunities. The event culminates in a joint evening event with 50 exhibitors and 700 participants.
