Our venue

Our venue is located at Töölönlahti Bay, a peaceful area at the heart of Helsinki, surrounded by nature, cultural landmarks, and cafés. It is a district that reflects Helsinki’s best qualities: vibrant urban energy beautifully coexists with natural beauty.

‍

Right around the corner of our venue, you will find several cultural landmarks such as Finlandia Hall, the National Opera and Ballet, and the Helsinki Music Centre, while the famous innovative Oodi Central Library is only a stone’s throw away.

‍

The venue is housed in a building with a unique local legacy. Formerly part of the historic Töölö Sugar Factory, it is a beautifully preserved red-brick structure that reflects the area’s industrial past. In front of the building stands the “Sugar Girl” sculpture, depicting a girl offering a sugar cube to a dog, a symbol of the city’s industrial heritage.

‍

Today, this historic space has been transformed into a modern learning environment, a perfect place to learn, collaborate, and experience the very best of Helsinki.

‍

The venue is easily accessible, located within a short walking distance from the Helsinki Central Railway Station. The location is also well-connected by public transportation, including buses and trams.
