Theme: Rays Into The Future

As we prepare for our third edition titled "Rays into the Future", it becomes clear: Oulu's voice is pivotal in shaping the global discourse. Local experiences and insights, when magnified, have the power to guide the world into a brighter future. Nestled in the Arctic, Oulu isn’t just about resilience but about leading the way with its innovative spirit. From our commitment to energy-efficient green spaces to the audacious ventures of our tech pioneers in 6G, from the age-old philosophies that shape our happiness to avant-garde education techniques – our city brims with stories waiting to be told. This year, it’s more than just a stage; it's a clarion call to celebrate diversity, foster groundbreaking ideas, and recognize the role of individual voices in sculpting tomorrow.
