Pasi Hurri, CEO of BaseN
SPIME2022, the 8th annual SPIME event hosted by BaseN, took place virtually on November 16th. This year, we explored the role of digital twins to enable companiesā financial and planetary sustainability.
SPIME2022 had an amazing speakersā line-up: Juan Rico (Head of Business Development IoT at TEKA Group), Toni Mattila (Head of Sustainable Manufacturing at Business Finland), Cristian Paun (Global Digital Strategist at DuPont), Shannon Katcher (Vice President, Digital Innovations at GTI Energy), and Maria Svantemark (CEO & Co-Founder at SustainLab). Each of these professional speakers brought unique and diverse angles to the event themes of digitalization, digital twin, and sustainability.
Our President & CEO, Pasi Hurri, opened the event with his speech on, āthe future is set with digital twinsā. Our next speaker, Juan Rico delivered a speech about smart homes and how digitalization plays a role in its complex energy ecosystem from a home appliance manufacturer’s view. Toni Mattila talked about the twin transition in manufacturing industries. He elaborated on what it meant to be economically sustainable and environmentally sustainable.
We continued with the next speaker, Cristian Paun, who clearly posed the need for innovating to stay competitive and relevant in the business world. His speech conveyed messages on how to design and transform businesses, starting with defining what your winning aspiration would be, then defining what capabilities youād need to win and the technologies required. Shannon Katcher then join us and delivered her speech on the role of data and digitalization in the energy transition. She highlighted that to cope with highly complex and constantly changing energy transitions, software automation and digital solutions would be great tools to aid us.
The last speaker of our event was Maria Svantemark, who showcased how to accelerate our sustainability transition with data and AI. She particularly underlined how our actions of today were critical to determining what would happen in the next 7 years [until 2030].
The event then closed with our CEO, Pasi, summarizing the key insights he wanted the audiences to take away.

Companies still tend to focus more on optimizing the process, and less on the customer relationships that extend beyond the transactions of products. Our President & CEO, Mr. Pasi Hurri, calls it a Fire-and-Forget business model.
Build long-lasting, sustainable customer relationships
Now is the time to transform your products to services, transform your business model to Fire-and-Remember model, introduce mass-customization for your products, and thus get to a new level of servitization with today’s technologies.

Having been established in 2015, the SPIME conference has remained as an annual event organized by BaseN Corporation. The name SPIME corresponds to the concept of spime as the core of BaseN Platform – a logical and digital embodiment of anything. “Spime” term itself was first coined by Bruce Sterling in 2005, and since the spime concept plays a fundamental role in the BaseN solutions offering, the term has also been applied to name one of the most important reoccurring events for BaseN Corporation.Ā Ā
Youāre welcome to check out the highlights of previous SPIME conferences here.
