Helsinki is located on the shore of the Gulf of Finland – a charming seaside city with a unique twist and a place where urban culture meets coastal nature. The easy-going Nordic lifestyle and friendly locals make it easy to fall in love with this northern city – the capital of the happiest country in the world!

The TNC26 theme is “Digital Sisu,” a Finnish word that can be roughly translated as inner strength, tenacity, determination, and courage, particularly in the face of adversity. It seems very fitting to today’s world: we need to embrace the idea of sisu to ensure our future as a community. With this action-orientated mindset, it’s important to have the courage to make difficult decisions about our response to world events, to ensure a sustainable future for our activities and to maintain the strong ecosystem we have built.
