    Siemens Action day 2022 at pohjoinen pirtti in nuuksio

    Siemens company personnel wanted to have something other type of activity than the normal canoeing on a lake. We proposed them "how about if your team builds an insect nest" - that sounded funny and different, so it was accepted.
    The activity was provided at Pohjoinen Pirtti in Nuuksio National Park.
