After the visit to KONE, we headed to Naantali to meet with President Niinistö. He welcomed us in a traditionally decorated villa in Kultaranta.

President Niinistö had interesting views on all the topics that we raised. We talked about how small and medium-sized companies could be supported in the Chinese Market. Heikki Koponen mentioned that Slush will be also organised in Beijing in the coming autumn and the project includes many Aalto students.

At the end of our discussion, we also mentioned the current topic, his call to a nature programme on the radio. Our guests thought that it was endearing to hear that our head of state is not stuck to his rigid role. President Niinistö also found cooperation between our universities important.
