Hi All,

The Pop-Up HUB week was a fantastic experience and I am so glad that so many people were able to join us. It was great to see Aalto University, the Finnish Institute and IDEO organise such a brilliant workshop in the HUB. The results of the workshop, and the spirit of the people working there, will most certainly live on and feed into the permanent HUB.

Twinspark (bow from the HUB community!) continued the contract with Helsinki for two more weeks and in that time the HUB was occasionally open and we were able to show few people around and explain the concept and the message. Those two weeks, however, are now coming to an end. There is no doubt that the HUB Helsinki has come to stay, but it is a matter of doing this in an organised and professional way. Therefore, there is a meeting 4 pm. on Sunday in the HUB (if you are in the facebook group you have received an invitation, if not, this is it), where we will discuss the legal form that is needed for the HUB and then that legal form will be registered next week.

After the HUB has been established as a legal entity it’s board, with help from as many members as possible,  will start continue the work on finances, partnership arrangements, the concept, and, of course, the permanent space.

Do keep following this blog and the facebook site. All these will be handed over to the HUB board once there is one.

I hope to see you on Sunday!
