At FBI-DAY’s 25th anniversary, partner companies were recognised
The legendary FBI Day was held for the 25th time on Wednesday, 28 January 2026. The event brought together around 360 students and company representatives at Turku BioCity to hear inspiring presentations and to build networks that will carry far into the future. A key factor in the success of the FBI-DAY has been a close collaboration with the student guilds and the students themselves. They were also recognised during the event.
As recognition and gratitude for their long-standing contribution to both the forest industry and the success of FBI-DAY, eight distinguished partner companies were awarded at the event.
