Teknologia 19, the leading event in technology in the Nordic countries, will be held in Messukeskus Helsinki from 5 to 7 November. The current topics and phenomena of the field are prominent in the themes of the fair programme. More than 90 % of the stands at the fair have already been sold.

The Teknologia fair will offer programme at five different programme points as well as the stands of the exhibitors. The themes of the programme include, among other things, coding, robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning as well as the development of digitalisation.

On 5 November, the first day of the fair, the programme is targeted especially at students in the field of technology, who can discuss different career options with representatives of companies in the field of technology at the stands of the exhibitors. The stage programme also includes information briefings and addresses to future technology professionals.

"Our member companies are excited to participate in the student day and are happy to welcome students to the fair. New people also bring new ideas to companies, and we feel that it is important to start a dialogue with people interested in the field as early as possible. In the future, companies will need increasingly diverse expertise," says Advisor Jan Sucksdorff from the Association of Finnish Technical Traders.
