Humble to have the chance to present our hard work results at such an event.

Read the original post from BSV:
Deep Tech Investor Day would not be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors, who are helping us bring together one of the most ambitious deep tech gatherings in the Nordics! ❤️

Co-organized together with Maria 01, the event takes place in one of Europe’s leading startup campuses — an exceptional venue with a world-class team whose event expertise have made collaboration genuinely enjoyable!

A special thank you to our main sponsors, Lexia Attorneys for their long-standing partnership, and to Danske Bank for joining us in building this year’s event.

We also want to highlight the importance of programmes such as Defence Innovation Network Finland (DEFINE), which play a critical role in supporting the next generation of defence founders.
University of Helsinki continues to be one of the key pillars of scientific excellence and academic innovation in Finland.

Protecting breakthrough innovation is essential in deep tech, which makes the IP expertise of Kolster Oy Ab especially valuable.

On the defence side, we are deeply grateful to Patria and Millog Oy for their strong collaboration and commitment — both through the Defence Tech Meetups and now Deep Tech Investor Day itself.

The excitement during the final week before the event has been extraordinary! Our invite-only guest list is rapidly filling with top-tier names across venture capital, science, government, defence, and industry!

This year’s event features three dedicated stages:
- Deep Tech & Engineering
- Life Sciences & Health Tech
- Defence & Dual-Use

We truly cannot wait to welcome everyone to Helsinki 💥

Why the CV is outdated — and what hiring managers should look at instead
Why CV-driven hiring misleads, and how Environment–Person Fit, validated personality frameworks and a human in the loop give hiring managers a far more accurate picture.

55+ age group challenges and opportunities - Business Breakfest with Reetta Rajala (Rise and shine!) organized by Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Piret Potisepp

Age based hiring, s*x based hiring is discrimination fundamentally. Yet at the breakfest we heard this bias has rooted deep in our daily thinking no matter the age, s*x or nationality.

Sparkly HR helps to discover hidden superpowers and personality strenghts to overlook the ”production year” but look at what the person can do for the team and organization.

Yet more we dig in, more we see what can be done better to avoid unfair and wrongly based biases discriminating aged and young people. Topics like respect, physical and cognitive capabilities, staying longer at work, etc.

Why Team Leads see no value in what HR is trying to do, and how to overcome this? Shortly put - it was our founder's very problem throughout his entrepreneurial career. HRs just did not perform at the expected level. It took decades to recognize why-how, and now only it is solved in Sparkly.hr

Sparkly.hr is not a "someday later" topic. It's where You should start!

Most companies postpone clarity around people, roles, and teams. First sales, then processes, then putting out fires. But this is exactly where the most expensive mistakes begin.

When the right people are not in the right roles, responsibilities are unclear, and teams do not strengthen one another, everything suffers:
- performance
- accountability
- collaboration
- adaptability to change
- leaders’ mental load
- employee retention

The problem is usually not that people are bad or that leaders are weak. The problem is lack of clarity.
- Roles are not truly clear
- Expectations are not understood in the same way
- Recruiters do not get all the information they need
- Team leads can see that performance is missing, but cannot pinpoint why
- HR can sense the risks, but cannot prove them to leadership in numbers

As a result, companies usually start adding more rules, rigid job descriptions, more control, and increasingly complex systems. But people are not machines. Not everyone is suited for everything, even if they have a degree, experience, or a training certificate.

Sparkly.hr was created to bring clarity where today there is mostly assumption.

Sparkly helps make visible:
- a person’s natural strengths
- the real demands of the role
- the internal amplifiers and blockers within a team
- the fit between the person, the work, the manager, the team, and the organization
- early risks of burnout, resignation, and conflict

Self-managing teams do not emerge without clarity. They require a very clear structure, clear responsibilities, and people whose natural strengths align with the work.

Training matters. But the smartest way to develop people is where they have a natural potential to become very strong. When a company builds work around people’s weaknesses instead of their strengths, the result is fatigue, resistance, micromanagement, and underperformance.

A bad culture does not appear out of nowhere. Very often, it simply means that the wrong people are in the wrong places, or the right people are working in the wrong roles.

Sparkly.hr is not just an HR tool. It is a decision-making tool.

It helps leaders, HR, and boards see:
- where energy is being lost
- why a team is not functioning
- who is amplifying whom and who is holding whom back
- which roles need redesign
- where training investment makes sense and where it does not
- which mistakes can be prevented before they become expensive

If it feels like people in your company are trying hard but results are still not coming through, the answer is not more control. The answer is more clarity.

That is exactly why Sparkly.hr exists.

Create your Sparkly.hr account and finally see clearly what is moving your people and business forward — and what is holding them back today.

Lokaalse tähendusega artikkel. Pea 10 aastat vana pilt, ent teema oli aktuaalne siis ja on aktuaalne ka praegu. On terav väiksemas ettevõttes, määrab edukuse suures ettevõttes. Me märkame tagajärgi ja kirume töötajaid.
