HDSM and Data Natives alliance is a boost for innovation
What is Data Natives?
Data Natives aims to bring to life the innovations of tomorrow. Change doesn’t happen where knowledge is isolated. So Data Natives connects the data community, updating and expanding the collective knowledge of the sector through inspiring events.
Founded in 2015, Data Natives is a meeting point for 183,000 members. This makes it the largest association of data professionals on the planet. The group arranges events each year in key tech hubs across the globe. Their work culminates in an annual Data Natives conference in Berlin.
What is the Helsinki Data Science Meetup?
The Helsinki Data Science Meetup (HDSM) happens four times each year. It’s a hybrid event series designed to update and expand knowledge in data science, data analytics, data management, and AI.
Attendees at the gatherings shape the future of Europe’s data scene. The aim is to have a dialogue about what’s happening at the moment. Hosted on each occasion by different companies, it’s about sharing insights, best practices, and use cases of real companies.
For example, on November 24, 2021, a HDSM was hosted by Supercell. In what became the biggest event in HDSM history—the Finnish development company took attendees on an exclusive behind the scenes tour of their data operation, allowing participants to ask direct questions to their data team.

In a sign of the gathering’s status, trusted event partners in 2022 include industry heavyweights Quix, Metro Digital, and IBM.
The three-day conference has five focal points: data science, data economy, future society, Startup, and blockchain and Web 3 data.
The venue is the atmospheric Kühlhaus Berlin—a central location that’s a stone’s throw from Germany’s central borough of Berlin Mitte.
