FIRPA Conference 2024
FIRPA 2024 Annual Seminar & Exhibition
Finnish Additive Manufacturing Association FIRPA is organizing the annual Conference 12.9 at Otaniemi, Espoo, in collaboration with Aalto University.
We are engaging the students, research and industry in the field.
The event language is English.
There will be an exciting presentation by start-ups, big companies, and international keynote speakers. We have the privilege of having a pioneer and guru of additive manufacturing, Ian Gibson, to have an opening keynote presentation. He has more than 30 years of experience of the AM field.
There is also the possibility of a short pitch for companies and students to tell what they do in AM and what they are interested in. The aim is to engage the students and companies. You can also bring a rollup and small samples to be shown during breaks. These have limited slots, prioritized for Firpa company members and, after that, for those who have registered first.
In the evening, there is a brewery tour and dinner.

AS2, TUAS building, Maarintie 8, 02150 Espoo.
