About

We are Avoin – and our goal is to advance sustainable development with open-source digital solutions.

The road to a more sustainable future is open

Our name “Avoin” is Finnish and means “open”. We think this name is most suitable because it describes our way of working. We trust in open source software and data and adhere to the principles of open science.

We aim to create fully scalable digital solutions, and set the standards accordingly. Whenever creating a tool or a piece of software, we strive to build a solid foundation, so that our solution can keep growing in the future.
