Mik e ErikaMike Klyszeiko Erika SauerTrans-Atlantic Managing Director, U.S.A. Business Develpment

Let’s be frank: Kids are hooked on vid-eo games, spending hours peering into screens of all sizes. Games and enter-tainment are big business. An addict-ing one.

No one knows this better than father, fan, and director of one of the world’s hottest gaming com-panies, Rovio Entertainment. Its title game, Angry

Birds, has amassed 2 billion downloads globally. Known as the Mighty Eagle, Peter Vesterbac-ka, is helping turn kids’ addiction into something good - a learning process with physical training.Recently the gaming giant opened three of its branded kin-dergartens in China with plans already underway to roll out in Singapore, and beyond.

EVOLUTION

The Rovio Fun Learning Center is based on Finnish educational expertise. The meth-od combines elements of playful learning, flow theory and culturally adapted to each market. The approach will continue to evolve with input from the Fun Research Lab at the University of Helsinki.

Educational games and digital tools are only a small part of this 360 degree ap-proach to learning, that focuses on teach-er education while challenging the tradi-tional concept of the classroom.“Kids shouldn’t be doing the same thing at the same time, that’s not how we work. That’s the old way of looking at learning, we want to show how the physical envi-ronment should be changing for future

learning. We want to help today’s children become better criti-cal thinkers, and this change is happening now,” says Vester-backa.

“Education is dy-namic. We cannot just stop where we are now we need to continually develop. That’s why the world needs Finnish educa-tional expertise now more than ever.”

Ever experienced a project that seems to never end? It is almost impossible to escape these situations today, but a solution has arrived. Joonas Makkonen runs the U.S. operations of Reaktor, a software and technical consulting business origi-nating from Finland. He and his company have found a way to merge technological devices, de-sign and software seam-lessly.

In the U.S. Reaktor is work-ing with clients such as NasdaqOMX and HBO.

“We want to work with companies that aim to become the world leaders, and dare to create some-thing completely new,” says Makkonen.

A great example of Reak-tor’s skills and capabilities is displayed in Finnair’s flight experience, award-ed best airline in Northern

HELLO WORLD

Europe 2 years running. Finnair wanted to revamp the entertainment ser-vices on board, but was using older Panasonic screens, installed in the seats.

“Even Panasonic didn’t know what kind of capa-bilities its screens had, before we started repro-gramming them.”“We aim to give an awesome customer

experience that lasts throughout the entire trip. Helping our client to serve and grow their customer base in a revo-lutionary way.”

What is the secret behind the solutions Reaktor creates? Whether they are working with airlines,

the stock exchange, media com-panies or any other customer.

Joonas says-

“A small, but very skilled team. Our hiring process is thorough. We team-up a group of selected programmers, designers and data analysts that fit each project.”
