Hearing Valley’s Second Co-Creation Workshop for Companies

On Wednesday, November 5th, 2025, we hosted the second co-creation workshop for companies as part of the Hearing Valley project. The hybrid event took place at Hub Panostamo in Kuopio and online via Microsoft Teams, allowing broad participation and engagement. The workshop centered on planning of the Hearing Valley service path. 

The day started with insightful presentations from Samu Kainulainen from SmartSleep Lab and Alina Solomon and Kaisa Paldanius from UEF Brain Research Unit. Their perspectives on structuring services sparked fresh ideas and set the stage for creative discussions about the next steps in development.

Following the talks, participants collaborated to map out what the Hearing Valley service path could look like. The conversations emphasized the importance of user-centered design and showed how combining expertise can lead to solutions that truly meet real-world needs.

We were delighted to welcome representatives from Esior, Med-el, TrueHear, Tulkkausilona, and Wellpro Impact Solutions to the workshop. The session was highly productive, laying a strong foundation for future collaboration. A big thank you to all participants for your valuable input and active engagement!
