Food at Nordic Business Forum

Offering sustainable food choices—focusing on organic, local, and plant-based options

Nourishing Your Mind and Stomach

We believe great ideas require great fuel. That’s why our catering features fresh, nourishing meals crafted from seasonal ingredients sourced directly from Finnish forests, fields, and waters. From wild game to hand-picked local berries, you’ll experience an authentic taste
of Finland—simple, wholesome, and sustainably mind-set.

Our buffets and food trucks bring together a delicious mix of classic Nordic favorites and modern street food concepts. Plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, and special diet options are thoughtfully integrated throughout.
