How is Finland shaping the future of global innovation? 🌍 At the launch of the Millennium Technology Prize 2027 Award Cycle last spring, Finland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Elina Valtonen, delivered a powerful message: The Millennium Technology Prize is not just about individual achievement, it is a vital platform for international collaboration. In her speech, Minister Valtonen explained how Finland acts as a forerunner in innovation. This is thanks to strong cooperation between the public and private sectors, and Finland’s ambitious plan to heavily boost funding for research and development. This same collaborative spirit is at the heart of the Millennium Technology Prize. As Minister Valtonen stated, the prize is much more than an award. It is a global meeting point for scientists, engineers, and leaders dedicated to solving humanity’s greatest challenges through sustainable, human-centered innovation.
