General

Today, there are schools and venues which teach digital media and games industry related skills. But it hasn't always been like that. Assembly has been networking many of the talented people in the Finnish digital media industry throughout the years, opening possibilities to enchance skills and present achievements when there has not been other forums to do so. Assembly gave them a common ground where to show their skills in forms of competitions and created ways for meeting and sharing ideas in Finland since the dawn of the digital media and this new culture.

Assembly was selected as a winner by mr Risto Linturi, a well known visionist and digital media 'guru' in Finland. "MINDTREK Grand Prix 2006 competition was looking for the best innovative product, idea, concept or service. Assembly gathers the makers of digital media, shows the the goals and the path to make things happen. The successfull Finnish gaming industry owes a lot to this event. Assembly has become an institution and it takes a lot of time and persistence to create one. In my case, the selection of Assembly as the winner was clearly the choise of values", says Risto Linturi in the award speech.

Assembly Organizing is deeply moved by this award. It shows us that the work of hundreds of volunteers has created a success story, something that influenced the digital media industry and culture in Finland since the beginning. We will extend our deepest gratitude to these volunteers, both past and present, who have given their time to the event and were shaping it throughout the years. Be proud of what you have done!
