Oulu2026 Design Sprint
A Co-Creation Workshop for Companies
The year 2026 will place Oulu on the European stage. Oulu2026 Design Sprint is an inspiring, hands-on workshop designed for companies, bringing employees together to develop new ideas, services, or ways of working inspired by the spirit of Oulu2026.
The sprint is an intensive co-creation experience where participants explore insights, generate ideas, and shape a concrete concept that supports both business development and a sense of community within the workplace. At the same time, employees learn new skills, and experience a sense of purpose as part of Oulu’s European Capital of Culture.
