PoriES x SuomiAreena 2026: The Trust Deficit — Who Pays the Price When the Systems Fail?
A panel on public trust, pressured services, and who bears the consequences when systems fail.
Finnish society has long rested on trust in its public institutions. This panel explored what happens when healthcare queues grow, schools are underfunded, and key services come under pressure: who carries the consequences when trust frays, and what that reveals about society today.
Moderator: Matthew Bowen, Administrative Director/Project Coordinator, International Professionals Finland ry (InterProFinland)
Panelists: Tiina-Maija Paloranta (Valon kierre); Mona Elo (SAMK/NotesByMona); Nick Walters (Sitra); and Violeta Ivanova (Pori Entrepreneurship Society).
