SOHJO Business Event 2026: Taavi Kuisma

Founder & CEO Future Objects Oy | Creative Technologist & AI Innovator

Keynote:
Curious case of AI: How far has the world gotten in the AI journey? 

Taavi Kuisma is a pioneer at the luminous intersection of creativity, technology and the future. As the founder of Future Objects, he focuses on turning generative AI from abstract hype into practical, human‑centric solutions that truly reshape how industries work, think and create.

With an extensive international background in advertising, marketing and branding, Taavi has collaborated with global brands such as Volkswagen Group, AIG, General Electric, Shell and Moët‑Hennessy Diageo. He is also the founder of the globally recognized advertising agency Industria and the author of Pants Bear, a creative phenomenon with over 15 billion views worldwide.

For the past six years, Taavi has worked hands‑on with generative AI, focusing on real‑world adoption rather than speculation. Since its founding in 2022, Future Objects has helped enterprises illuminate the path toward AI adoption by simplifying complex technologies and embedding them into everyday business practices. Today, the company’s AI solutions are used across media and broadcasting, travel and tourism, and the automotive industry by brands such as Škoda, CUPRA, Volkswagen, Media Prima and the State of Melaka (Malaysia) to name a few.

At SOHJO 2026, Taavi takes the stage with his keynote: Curious case of AI
In this keynote, Taavi invites both creative professionals and technologists to rethink how they look at AI and its use case. Looking past the FOMO and shallow interpretation of generative AI, we explore the AI rabbit hole from a new perspective. How can humans and machines co‑create a future that is not only efficient, but meaningful, ethical, and progressive?

This is a keynote for those tired of the same old AI slop and LinkedIn posts about the latest in AI. It’s a keynote for those ready to ask some real questions about the path AI is taking us and how industries are handling the futuristic journey we are all on.

We’re thrilled to welcome Taavi to SOHJO business event as part of the LuovAIn! x SOHJO partnership. LuovAIn! – AI in the Creative and Cultural Ecosystem is a project co-funded by the European Union.
