Nordic Match – new Nordic creative network

Nordic creative professionals need new, informal ways to meet and share ideas. Based on this idea, a new networking platform – Nordic Match – will be launched at Helsinki Design Week 2018. The Nordic Culture Point, creative agency Måndag and Human Hotel have invited four Nordic creative professionals to develop the concept. The final result will be published and developed further together with the audience at Helsinki Design Week festival hub. Welcome to learn more, participate in the discussion and develop the platform further with us in the spirit of TRUST, which is Helsinki Design Week’s main theme this year!
