Panel: Finland and Europe in a Growing World of Robotics

Where is robotics heading, and where do Finland and Europe stand in it?

Five people who see the field from different sides discuss it together: a researcher, an engineer from industry, an entrepreneur, an investor and a student. Expect honest views on talent, funding, manufacturing and what it takes to build robotics companies here.

Audience questions are part of the format. Stay afterwards to continue the conversation.

Speakers:

Thomas Höglund, founder of Done Robotics and doctoral researcher in telerobotics

Dr. Mika Vainio, Chief Marketing Officer at GIM Robotics, which develops autonomous navigation for mobile work machines

Niko Elers, Investment Director at Voima Ventures, a Nordic deep-tech venture capital fund

Wenyan Yang, researcher in Robot Learning group at Aalto University

Erkka Lehtonen, robotics student and president of Robotics Nation

Moderated by Pavlo Yakymenko, Vice President of Aalto Robotics Club.
