Finland has been among the earliest adopters of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and therefore is a mayor key player in driving the innovations for the AEC industry.
The basis is in OpenBIM, which has been set as a standard by governmental actors. However, OpenBIM is not only driven by the government. Currently, the whole AEC industry and its enthuastic people behind these companies are supporting OpenBIM: Anna-Riitta Kallinen, Owner of ARK Consulting, ARKCON, is Ambassador of BIM World MUNICH and supports the export business and marketing for Finnish BIM companies with incredible commitment and success “The Finnish collaboration within the BIM World Munich network started already in 2016. Since then, the joined offering of Finnish companies has been steadily growing in significance and in visibility. Some also say we have the most successful annual after-venue party, offering relaxed collaboration and networking during the two days of BIM collaboration and latest news in the business. Part of the inspiring spirit of the Finnish pavilion is the open BIM collaboration that has a strong foothold in Finland. Common national BIM requirements and open innovative approach to BIM motivates companies and their clients to appear side by side also in this most important annual German BIM venue. Every year of attendance has brought added value to the companies in terms of client collaboration, latest developments in the German market and networking with overseas partners.”
