For the first time ever, HARVEST is opening the doors to the boardroom. Reaktor’s CEO Pekka Horo and Chairman of the Board Mika Sutinen share an intimate conversation that most leadership teams are having behind closed doors: what should we be genuinely curious about right now?
A unique chance to hear thoughts from two people who have had a front-row seat to how technology and the market are reshaping our business. You’re invited to take a seat at the table.
We will also hear domain experts tackle what actions should you actually take and learn how our panel of business leaders look further ahead to 2027. What actions to take, what to be especially curious about when building success in 2027?
After each session, a facilitated roundtable gives you the room to learn from peers running similar challenges at different organizations.
An all day brunch will make sure to start the day joyful and full of energy for fresh thoughts.
HARVEST is organised by Reaktor and Reaktor Ecosystem, together with the ecosystem companies: Adventure Club, Allies, Mallow, Liminal, Tekai, Kaiku, Locoda, Solidice, Growberry, and Havina.
