CONGRESS AGENCY

Congress Oulu plans and implements national and international meetings and congresses according to customers’ wishes. We naturally take care of the arrangements of other events too.

As a part of the Marketing team of the City of Oulu, Congress Oulu markets and developes Oulu as a meeting and congress city. We also promote the operation of companies providing related services. The most current issues in Congress Oulu you will find here.

Congress Oulu has a service Meet Oulu Hitech technology visits that offers services to business travellers.

Various delegations of technology experts weekly get in contact with technology companies, the university, the city and other organisations in Oulu. These delegations are interested in the recipe for success pursued by Oulu and its hitech companies.

The service for business travellers, Meet Oulu Hitech technology visits, lowers the threshold of visiting high technology companies because the main focus of the service is on business visits. 26 hitech companies in and around Oulu have launched a co-operation contract with Congress Oulu to introduce their operations to visitors. These visits are a part of the companies’ communications plan and this way they expect to find new business associates from all around the world.

In addition to the company visits, it is also possible to visit public organsations such as the City of Oulu, Oulu University, Oulu Polytechnic, Oulu Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Oulu Region. Furthermore, in addition to organising business visits, the service includes organising accomodation, restaurant and transportation services as well as providing various entertainment and leisure services.

In conclusion organising business visits, which previously employed the staff of public organisations, has now been centralised in one place. In practise congress organiser Congress Oulu of Oulu City Tourist Services has the responsibility of organising the visits. 

Meet Oulu Hitech technology visits has been developed by a Oulu City Tourist Services project that was financed by the City of Oulu as well as European Regional Development Fund and the Regional Council of Northern Ostrobothnia. Oulu Region Centre of Expertise has also been involved in financing the project.
