Millennium Technology Prize
Jaa
Looking back at the beginning of the year, one of the brightest highlights was our science and innovation discussion event at the Embassy of Finland in Singapore. This marked the third year in a row that we have organised the event — and this time, we were especially pleased to collaborate with our first international university partner, Nanyang Technological University Singapore.
🎥 Watch the recap video below!
We had the honour of hosting exceptional panellists: two Millennium Technology Prize winners, Professors Bantval Jayant Baliga and David Klenerman, together with the Vice President and Distinguished Professor Ernst Kuipers from the Nanyang Technological University Singapore, and doctoral researcher Anastasiia Kushnarova-Vakal from the University of Turku.
The event was organised during the wonderful Global Young Scientists Summit (GYSS), hosted by the National Research Foundation Singapore. We are also proud partners of the GYSS, and this year we sent 12 promising young researchers from Finland to this truly global and cross-sectoral gathering. They actively participated in our discussion event as well, building important connections for their future careers.
Innovation. Inspiration. Impact.

The 2014 Millennium Technology Prize was awarded to Professor Stuart Parkin for his groundbreaking discoveries that enabled a thousand-fold increase in the storage capacity of magnetic disk drives.
Professor Parkin's innovations have profoundly transformed our digital world, underpinning the evolution of large data centres, cloud services, social networks, and the online distribution of music and film. Thanks to his work on spintronic devices, including the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) spin-valve read head, we can now stream movies, use social media, and search information on the internet with unprecedented ease and efficiency. This cost-efficient method of storing vast amounts of data is a cornerstone of our contemporary online experience.
Whose innovation will be celebrated next for its impact on humanity? The Millennium Technology Prize recognizes breakthroughs that address global challenges and improve lives. If you know a visionary whose work deserves this honor, nominate them today! https://bit.ly/4okhHIA
