As we wrap up 2024, I’m excited to reflect on what has been a truly rewarding year for all of us at Emblica. We’ve grown in many ways—welcoming new faces to the team, exploring new markets, and pushing forward on projects we’re passionate about. It’s been a year full of hard work, learning, and plenty of good times together.
One of our big goals for 2024 was expanding into Germany, and I’m happy to say we’ve made great progress. We took part in events like SMM Hamburg, the leading maritime trade fair, building some fantastic connections along the way. Joining AHK, the German-Finnish Chamber of Commerce, has been another key step, leading to collaborative projects like webinars with DFKI, Germany’s renowned AI research center, and even a keynote at the AHK Spring Forum.
Speaking of DFKI, we launched AI’d Forge together this year—a joint program that combines our expertise in AI with their deep research capabilities. We’ve also been able to connect with like-minded organizations by becoming a part of SIX MWMs Cluster and AI Finland.
Another highlight of the year was being recognized in the Kasvu Open Growth Path Programme where we made it to the TOP 10. The program gave us fresh ideas and confirmed that we’re on the right track with how we’re growing the company.
On the home front, our team has grown with amazing new colleagues, and expanding the team continues next year. It’s been great to see the energy and ideas they’ve brought to the table.
We’ve also kept our team spirit strong with a variety of events—from a team-building trip to Tallinn and a remote work week at Emblimökki to sailing, painting, and even a Halloween party. I also want to give a shoutout to Emblica Ladies, who started gathering this year to discuss ways to improve opportunities for women in tech and make Emblica an even better place to work.
All in all, 2024 has been a year of progress, challenges, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. A huge thank you to our clients, partners, and collaborators—you’ve played an important part in everything we’ve achieved. Here’s to an exciting year ahead, filled with new projects, new connections, and more moments worth celebrating.
Wishing you all the best for the year to come,
Teemu Heikkilä
