How Are Global Organizations Using NBF Livestream to Scale L&D?

Nordic Business Forum 2026 may be sold out in Helsinki, but thousands of professionals around the world will still join the experience through our livestream solutions.

One of the most popular options for organizations is the Remote Group Livestream that allows companies to embed the Nordic Business Forum video player directly to their own internal websites. This makes world-class learning accessible to teams anywhere in the world. With the Remote Group Livestream, teams can watch keynote sessions live or on demand, gather locally for viewing events, and turn inspiration into meaningful discussions across countries, offices, and time zones.

In this blog, we highlight how five organizations — Wärtsilä, Huhtamaki, Orion Pharma, Telia, and SEB — have utilized the solution to support learning, engagement, and leadership development at scale.

Why Organizations Choose Remote Group Livestream

Organizations today face a common challenge: how to provide timely and high-quality leadership development opportunities to employees across multiple locations while keeping the experience engaging, inclusive, and easy to access.

Remote Group Livestream was designed to solve exactly that. The solution enables companies to stream Nordic Business Forum directly through their own password-protected website or intranet. Employees can participate individually or together with colleagues through local viewing sessions.

For many organizations, the value extends far beyond access to world-class speakers. The experience creates alignment, strengthens culture, and encourages conversations that continue long after the event itself.

Wärtsilä: Making Leadership Learning Accessible Globally

For Wärtsilä, accessibility and scalability were key priorities. Alexandra Rosendal, Learn & Grow Expert at Wärtsilä, highlights how the livestream enabled equal access to leadership learning across the company’s global workforce:

“We are a truly global company, with people working across different countries and time zones. Offering world-class leadership content that people are able to consume whenever they want is a perfect solution for us.”

The company actively promoted the opportunity internally and saw strong engagement across regions and teams.

“Through the stream, we were able to strengthen engagement and ensure equal access to learning, regardless of location.”

Alexandra also emphasized the scalability of the solution for leadership development initiatives:

“I would recommend NBF’s Remote Group livestreaming solution to any organization that wants to develop leadership capabilities at scale and make learning accessible for a global audience.”

Huhtamaki: Supporting a High-Performance Culture

At Huhtamaki, the livestream has become part of a broader commitment to continuous development and employee growth. Jessica Molander, Learning & Development Specialist at Huhtamaki, explained that investing in learning opportunities supports the company’s long-term strategy and high-performance culture.

“By investing in development through offerings such as Nordic Business Forum, we are aiming to build a high-performance culture.”

Huhtamaki promotes the livestream globally while also encouraging local viewing sessions and discussions.

“We also host live viewing sessions and parties locally and encourage our HR’s and people leaders to utilize the livestream as well as the post-event materials actively.”

One particularly valuable aspect has been the simplicity of implementation:

“Taking the livestream into use has been super easy. We have included the livestream player on our Huhtamaki Intranet, so that any of our employees have been able to access it from their devices.”

Orion: Combining Learning with Team Discussions

For Orion Pharma, the value of the livestream lies not only in the content itself, but also in the conversations it creates internally. Riku Huikuri, Head of Talent at Orion Pharma, explained:

“We want our people to stay abreast of current trends and best practices in leadership and business. Our success as a company is dependent on the expertise and know-how of our employees.”

Many teams at Orion watched the sessions together and used them as a starting point for reflection and discussion.

“The Nordic Business Forum is a great opportunity to refresh our thinking, gain new insights, and learn from the best. Many of our teams watched the presentations together, followed by a group discussion.”

Interestingly, Orion also viewed the event as an opportunity to learn from the speakers beyond the core business insights.

“It’s an opportunity to think of the NBF as a masterclass in presentation skills. It’s extremely worthwhile taking pointers from the speakers’ presentation styles and thinking about how you can develop as a presenter yourself.”

Telia: Flexible Learning Across Teams and Locations

At Telia, flexibility and inclusivity were major reasons for choosing Remote Group Livestream. Simona Narutavičienė, People Growth Lead at Telia, explained:

“We wanted to give our employees access to world-class leadership and business insights, while keeping participation flexible and inclusive.”

Telia combined individual participation with shared office viewing experiences, creating opportunities for employees to exchange ideas and continue discussions after the sessions.

“Some colleagues joined the livestream from their own workplaces or homes, while others watched together in our office, creating space for discussions and sharing insights.”

The recordings also extended the learning experience well beyond the live event itself.

“The flexibility to watch sessions live or on-demand was a big advantage for our teams.”

According to Simona, the livestream supported the company’s goals around leadership development and continuous learning:

“Employees were especially inspired by topics around personal growth, organizational culture, and navigating change.”

SEB: Strengthening a Shared Learning Culture

For SEB, the livestream aligned naturally with the organization’s commitment to employee development and continuous learning. Liina Tomingas, Learning & Development / Work Environment Specialist at SEB, shared:

“We saw this as a strong opportunity to make world-class insights and thought leadership accessible to our employees. Continuous learning is closely linked to our employee value proposition.”

The livestream was made available across SEB teams in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, ensuring employees could participate regardless of location or schedule.

“The on-demand access ensured that everyone could engage with the content at a time that suited their work schedules and individual needs.”

SEB also highlighted the importance of smooth implementation and reliable support throughout the process.

“The setup was smooth and reliable. Being able to test the livestream in advance was particularly valuable, and the support team was consistently available and helpful throughout the process.”

For organizations operating across multiple locations, Liina sees clear value in the format:

“It’s an effective way to provide equal access to high-quality content, regardless of geography, and supports scalable learning across the organization.”

More Than a Regular Livestream

While the technology behind Remote Group Livestream is simple, the impact can be significant. Organizations use the experience in many different ways:

• Flexible company-wide inspiration days
• Stuctured leadership development initiatives
• Team learning sessions and discussions
• Local office viewing events
• Ongoing learning through recordings and post-event materials

The flexibility allows organizations to tailor the experience to their own culture, goals, and ways of working.

For many teams, the event becomes more than just content consumption. It becomes a shared experience that strengthens engagement, sparks new ideas, and encourages conversations that continue long after the final keynote.
