Скачать или смотреть DistanceLAB final seminar in Lahti, Finland

Reflection on our DistanceLAB seminar and partner meeting in Lahti, Finland has come to an inspiring close: and these two days clearly showed how much we have achieved together as we enter the very last steps of the project.

The discussions, reflections, and shared insights reminded us why Distance LAB was created in the first place: to strengthen collaboration across borders and make remote innovation not only possible, but meaningful. One message from the seminar summed it up well:
"Don’t ask what others can bring to the table. Ask what ideas your organisation can bring to the table.”

Throughout the programme, partners highlighted the value of shared expertise across the Baltic Sea Region. Our project coordinator Leena Toivanen expressed it perfectly:
“Technology is an enabler, but what truly matters is how we work together. I learned so much from all of you, and I am proud of what we have accomplished.”

We were also encouraged by the words of Esa Kokkonen, Policy Area Coordinator for Innovation (EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region):
“Distance LAB has been proactive and well aligned with the Baltic Sea Region strategy. This connection will support your results, scalability, and long-term impact.”

From in-depth presentations to inspiring conversations and new ideas for future cooperation, the meeting strengthened our belief that there is real, shared expertise across the region and that collaboration itself is one of the project's strongest outcomes.

As Distance LAB moves into its final phase and prepares to conclude in December, we are proud to share all tools, methods, and remote collaboration services publicly available for various organisations, innovation ecosystems, and businesses across the Baltic Sea Region: https://distancelab.eu/.

The video is produced in the project DistanceLAB, that equips public and private organisations with smart distance working skills and business development services in the Baltic Sea region. The project is financed by European Union's Interreg Baltic Sea Region program and Norwegian partners. Read more about the project: https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/di...
