THE POP UP HUB HELSINKI
| Mon 7/9 - Fri 11/9 | at 11.00 - 17.00 |
The Pop Up Hub Helsinki is a place where design meets social responsibility. For five consecutive days the temporary pop up space will serve as an office, meeting place and a platform for public innovation.
The Pop Up Hub Helsinki is based on the idea of the famous global Hub community; a network of spaces for inspiration and social innovation. The Hubs operate as social enterprises, and they now spread across four continents and 12 cities offering tools, contacts and a platform for people who want to solve global problems. The Hub concept is a cross between a private members club and an office hotel, bringing together people from small and medium sized businesses, NGO's, funding organisations and civil service.
Yatta designers and a special team from Aalto University will join forces with Londoners to create the pop up version of The Hub. The group will be camping in the dedicated space throughout the week. The doors are also open to the public to come and share their thoughts and ideas about creating an ideal urban space.
On Friday September 11th top design guests from London will join the team for a special launch event featuring UK guests; artist Riitta Ikonen (RCA) and IDEO. The event launches a large series of Finnish design events to be organised by the Finnish Institute in London in 2010. Read more about the launch event...
