Yours truly had the privilege of becoming a founding member of Slush China in October 2015. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting Beijing Startup Street. This street is very well known in China, and one of our Slush Pre-parties was held there as well! More info on Startup Street behind this  link

Event held in Helsinki during Slush Helsinki 

Slush Side Event Tech & Flourish held at Café Kokko

3stones takes a think tank approach to business, working towards a transformation which Alibaba´s Jack Ma also speaks about. This action arises from the understanding that much innovation is yet required in order for us to step into a way of living that is truly sustainable - in all spheres of of our lives and existence. 

In November of 2015, 3stones Consulting had the special privilege to organize a Slush Side Event together with Dr. Arto Salonen, a visionary thinker. The evening was entitled "Tech & Flourish", and it was organized with the aim to better understand the inter-relationship of ecosocial wellbeing and technology.

During the evening, Taiwan Dayuling High Mountain Oolong Tea was served, brewed for us by Pasi Kokko of Kokko Cafe, where the event was held.

Dr. Arto Salonen´s presentation made it clear that we should measure the technology that we build according to how it serves the FLOURISH OF LIFE, not anything else. A roadmap to a sustainable future includes cooperation instead of competition, sharing and caring instead of individualism, immaterial consumption instead of material consumption, and of course, clean energy. Factors of a flourishing life include participation, relationships and harmony... for more detail, please see "Factors of Flourishing Life" -slide below.

A more comprehensive report of the evening is upcoming!
