Strengthening Collaboration: Consortium Meeting at KONE HQ

Dining Flow

Every consortium meeting is an opportunity to connect, share, and grow together. Our experience of our meeting on August 16 was even more special because we gathered at the headquarters of our lead company, KONE.

Being hosted at KONE HQ allowed us to move closer to the heart of innovation. The UTU team had the privilege of engaging directly with KONE’s research and development experts, sparking rich conversations and opening new perspectives. These exchanges were not only insightful but also essential for building stronger foundations for our project and future collaboration.

Throughout the meeting, we shared presentations, exchanged ideas, and held discussions that enriched our collective vision and strengthened the steps ahead. The feedback from our industry partners, shaped by their knowledge, and experience, is always invaluable. It is through these open dialogues that our project gains deeper meaning, direction, and strength.

Listening to our industry partners

At the core of our efforts lies a shared value: to expand knowledge, create impactful research outcomes, and support the growth of Finnish industry. By working together, we aim to ensure that Finland remains competitive and a global leader in innovation and technology.

When academia and industry come together, in a constructive environment, the results are not only inspiring but transformative.

PS. We also had the chance to observe that at the Sodexo restaurant in Keilasatama they have a different tray-returning systems than in Flavoria 😉
