Karelia University of Applied Sciences is a multidisciplinary and international learning community where student ideas and bold thinking spark entrepreneurship and innovation. Here, future talents co-create solutions together with companies, startups, and regional partners.

At SOHJO 2026, we present Karelia NEXT – a platform for innovation, growth, and courageous solutions, connecting students, businesses, and working life.

On Thursday, our showroom highlights Skilled Future Talents – the people shaping the Luminous future. Whether you are seeking new ideas to address practical challenges, research-based knowledge and expert insight, or new employees with fresh perspectives, we offer versatile ways to collaborate. Come meet our Future Talents team on-site, explore our dynamic Talent Pool and learn more about boosting business through R&D collaboration.

On Friday, we showcase Karelia AI, our research AI-environment where new technologies and digital solutions are developed in close collaboration with companies and public organizations. Join us and explore Karelia’s AI applications.
