Bloom ry receives US$9,000 Grant for producing Bloom Tech Forum technology event

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tampere, Finland, October 1, 2021 - Bloom ry, a leading association with a mission to build the bridge between internationals and locals in Finland through empowerment events, received a US$9,000 grant on September 28, 2021. The grant was endowed by US Embassy Finland of the Public Affairs Section for the purpose of producing the Bloom Tech Forum technology event this autumn.

The goal of the project is to strengthen the Transatlantic relationship and to promote economic prosperity and innovation. Funds will be allocated to marketing, sales and operational departments, to pursue this goal. The project will be headed by Kelly Keodara, Clare Nauman and Aleks Tuckett. Kelly is the Founder of Bloom with expertise in marketing, communications and event management. Clare is the Secretary of Bloom with expertise in design, advertising and event production. Aleks is the Treasurer of Bloom with expertise in budgeting, logistics and customer service. External speakers and supporters will be contracted for their international technical expertise.

“It is with great honour to produce this technology event for our community. Tampere is known as the tech hub of Finland, so it only makes sense to have it here. And it makes sense for Bloom to host it as we are the bridge between Finland and the international community. The name of the event will be Bloom Tech Forum, taking place in November 2021, in which the focus will be on how technology affects the integration of the international community. We are still open for new speakers, so please do contact us at the email above. Thank you to US Embassy Finland for this opportunity to strengthen our community. We look forward to a successful event ahead!” -Kelly Keodara
