In this special joint event, we’re bringing together the communities of this meetup group, [Helsinki Open Source Program Office meetup](https://www.meetup.com/helsinki-ospo-local-meetup-supported-by-todo-group/), and [Aalto Entrepreneurship Society](https://www.aaltoes.com/) to explore how open source ecosystems enable innovation, scale, and business opportunities across industries and borders.

We're super excited to have three of our KCD Helsinki keynote speakers sharing their knowledge at this event:
\- Sarah Novotny is one of the great minds behind designing Kubernetes great open source community\.
\- Ricardo Rocha is Platform Infrastructure Lead at CERN\, and part of the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee
\- Annie Talvasto is an international technology speaker\, CNCF Ambassador\, and Aaltoes alumni\.
\- Mirko Boehm from Linux Foundation Europe

💡 Learn firsthand how companies are not just using open source, but co-creating with it to drive innovation, build trust, and scale globally. The Linux operating system and Kubernetes ‘cloud native’ ecosystems, with hundreds of related projects, 100,000s of contributors involved, and millions of contributions are examples of how technology, businesses, and community members can thrive.

Whether you’re a student, startup founder, engineer, product manager, or just curious about open source and collaboration—this event is for you. We want this event to be as collaborative as possible – please join the discussion, ask questions, and find new perspectives!
