University of Applied Sciences of the Future is a hackathon for UAS students organised by Arene and SAMOK, culminating in a final on 14 April.

The event celebrates 25 years of permanent universities of applied sciences, looks to the future and creates something new. The final will be streamed live on the event website www.tulevaisuudenamk.fi.

Twelve teams of UAS students were selected for the competition. The teams have developed innovative solutions for the university of applied sciences of the future within four themes: sustainable development, digitalisation, continuous learning and the changing world of work. The teams have prepared video pitches of their solutions, which can now be viewed at tulevaisuudenamk.fi.

The winner will be selected by a distinguished seven-member jury consisting of Executive Director Aku Aarva (Eurooppalainen Suomi), Co-founder Pia Kuosmanen (Pros of Tomorrow), Director Nina Meincke (S Group), Visionary Henna Pursiainen (Una Europa), Arene Board member and Rector Vesa Taatila (Turku University of Applied Sciences), Leading Expert Mikko Valtonen (Finland Chamber of Commerce) and Founder Peter Vesterbacka (FinEst Bay Area, Slush). The competition’s main prize is €3,000.

Second and third place will be determined by the audience’s comparative evaluations in Innoduel.

You can now view the teams’ pitches and submit your evaluation at tulevaisuudenamk.fi.

The live final of the University of Applied Sciences of the Future hackathon will be streamed at www.tulevaisuudenamk.fi on Wednesday, 14 April, from 16:00 to 19:00.
