Location
Kaapelitehdas – Cable Factory
This year the event will be held in “Kaapelitehdas”. Situated in Helsinki’s Ruoholahti district, Cable Factory was the biggest building in Finland when it was completed in 1954. Initially it was a production site for marine cables. Later on, Finland’s first supercomputer was located here. Nowadays, Cable Factory is a place of culture, events, and museums. Cable Factory is easily reachable by metro or tram.
