About this Event
In today’s race for global talent and innovation, inclusion is no longer optional—it’s a strategic necessity. For Finnish companies looking to lead in international markets, inclusive leadership can be the difference between stagnation and growth.
Join us for an exclusive executive-level afternoon designed for board members, chairs, and C-suite leaders. Together, we’ll explore how inclusion—often overlooked or misunderstood—can drive innovation, resilience, and long-term value.
Through insights from international companies, academic research, and practical leadership experience, we’ll challenge the outdated notion of inclusion as a soft value and reframe it as a concrete competitive advantage.
With perspectives from Mårten Mickos (in service of startup CEOs), Alexandra Pasternak-Jackson (AmCham Finland), Sandra Dillon (Kemira), Samuli Kivilehto (Metso) and Tuomo Haukkovaara (Boardman) this session is for leaders who want to:
- Future-proof their companies for global competition
- Create cultures that attract and retain top international talent
- Lead with purpose and impact in a changing world
Why now—and why your leadership matters
Finland's geographic position offers unique strengths, but also requires deliberate action to compete for global talent. New tax reforms aim to attract highly skilled professionals by lowering the source tax for international experts—making it easier for both newcomers and returning Finnish talent to choose Finland.
But attraction is just the start. To truly unlock the value of this talent, companies must build inclusive cultures that enable people to thrive. And that starts at the top. Board members and senior leaders play a critical role in ensuring that Finland’s workplaces become not just globally competitive, but genuinely welcoming.
Now is the time to lead by example.
