ABOUT US

Junction brings passionate minds together to create solutions that leave a lasting impact.

Our events bridge the gap between creators and make everyone fall in love with technology.

How It All Started

Junction came to life when a group of students in Finland realized something: there wasn’t a place where people from different backgrounds could come together and get creative with technology. So, they decided to create one!

That’s how our main event was born in 2015. It started small but quickly grew into a global phenomenon, bringing together thousands of folks who share a passion for innovation. And the rest, as they say, is history!
