Tommi Laitio
Tommi Laitio acts as a researcher for Finland’s only independent think-tank, Demos Helsinki. Its aim is to develop democracy to suit the needs and capabilities of the people of the 21st century. The vision is essentially people-centric. At the heart of Demos Helsinki’s work is extensive, high-quality research.

For Tommi, “open design is a tool to solve problems that arise from systemic moral bankruptcy, building stronger communities along the way.”
