The Executive Summit 2025 brought Finnish and U.S. business leaders together in New York for a day of open conversation on the future of transatlantic business.
Hosted in collaboration with the Consulate General of Finland in New York, the Summit explored global market dynamics, geopolitical developments, and the role of innovation and sustainability in long-term growth. The program featured keynote talks, panel discussions, and fireside conversations with speakers including Ambassador Jarmo Sareva, Wilbur Ross, Marco Wirén (Nokia), and senior executives from companies such as Citi, Finnair, SAS, Fiskars, Ahlstrom, Betolar, and Borenius.
Beyond the formal program, the day was shaped by conversations — from morning coffee through the final sessions — as more than 100 participants connected, exchanged perspectives, and built relationships across industries and borders.
