Webinar: Engineers of Hope: Solving Global Crises Through Innovation

4.3. klo 8.30-9.15

We are living in an era of polycrises: war has returned to Europe, high interest rates and material costs are stalling investments, and environmental crises are deepening. Yet, amidst these challenges, there is hope. In Finland technology professionals are developing innovations that address some of the world’s most pressing issues.

Join us for the World Engineering Day webinar to be inspired! Discover three powerful stories where engineering expertise is making a real difference – even in the face of crises. This is your opportunity to gain hope and insights that point the way toward a sustainable future.

Simo Ellilä

Simo Ellilä is CEO and co-founder of the Finnish biotechnology company Enifer. Enifer develops and commercialises PEKILO® mycoprotein, a sustainably produced and nutritious protein source for the food and feed industry. After learning about the PEKILO® process developed in the 1970s and seeing its potential in utilising industrial side streams, Ellilä co-founded Enifer with colleagues in 2020. Under Ellilä's leadership, Enifer has raised significant funding and started building a commercial-scale production facility in Kirkkonummi, Finland. The aim is to start production in 2026 and meet the growing demand for sustainable protein sources.

Noora Westerlund

Noora Westerlund, Communication Director at Origin by Ocean, is a business activist who is passioned about the world's oceans and circular economy. The environmental problems caused by algae are a threat to the world's oceans and coastal communities. Origin by Ocean's patented bioprocess can transform brown algae into valuable raw materials for the chemical industry. This approach, based on circular economy principles, reduces nutrient loads in the oceans, prevents climate emissions and reduces the chemical industry's dependence on fossil raw materials.

Celebrate with cake

Engineers Finland encourages everyone to have som cake and coffee (kakkukahvit) in honor of engineers on March 4 - so give a tip to your workplace's HR department , stop by a local bakery or get your own cake going! We want to see the abundance of cakes on social media as well, so remember to post your cake and coffee moment with hashtags #worldengineeringday #wedfi25.
