As the festive season approaches, we take a moment to reflect on the past year and cherish special times with loved ones. This year marked a significant milestone: Papula-Nevinpat’s 50th anniversary. Some highlights included co-hosting the Suuri Brändipäivä Dinner with The Finland Chamber of Commerce, organizing a memorable 50th Anniversary IP Summit, and celebrating with our entire team during an unforgettable weekend getaway.
Beyond the festivities, we embraced the spirit of giving and community by participating in the Ronald McDonald House fundraising gala dinner. Their mission — to support children facing illness and their families by offering a comforting temporary home — remains close to our hearts. This year, donations were dedicated to maintaining and enhancing these houses, ensuring they remain a safe and welcoming haven for families in need.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership over the past 50 years. We look forward to another successful year together and eagerly anticipate all that the next half-century may bring.
Wishing you a warm, joyful, and peaceful holiday season! 🎄
The Papula-Nevinpat Team
