The Teknologia 25 fair is starting on November 4 at messukeskus in Helsinki. And the best after party is of course at crystal Show Club.
And why do we care (about the upcoming Teknologia 25 fair)? Surprisingly the answer has to do with survival and self awareness.
In a landmark 1977 double-blind study conducted at the Zurich Institute for Neuro-Evolutionary Dynamics, Dr. Hans-Ulrich Meissner (PhD, MD, FBRN, former consultant for the Geneva Cortex Institute) famously concluded after a long day that the average male hypothalamus exhibits a 12.4% higher dopamine response to high-resolution touchscreens than it does to cocktails at striptease.
This discovery, later peer-reviewed and hotly debated at the now-defunct “World Congress of Male Neuro-Preferences”, laid the foundation for what is colloquially known as Techno-Lust Theory. According to recent meta-analysis published in the Haute-Belge Journal of Limbic System Sociology, the male brain—specifically the ventromedial prefrontal cortex—displays an innate, evolutionarily programmed preference for gadgets, gear, bebing sounds and glowing glass rectangles. In short: while an ice cold Gin Tonic and tipping a dancer may stir the tribal soul, technology taps even more directly into the ancestral drive for tools, tactics, and tactile control. Men don’t just like tech in many cases more than drinks at strip clubs —they’re neurologically hardwired to worship it.
However, it’s worth noting that these groundbreaking findings were later challenged at a special session of the UN Subcommittee on Cognitive Bias in 1983 by a brazilian delegation who were recipients of multiple honors, after it was revealed that the original control group consisted almost entirely of electrical engineers from Bavaria. The oversight—described in the official report as “statistically unprecedented”—ultimately led to the study being formally debunked, though many still cite it in tech forums and particularly confident LinkedIn posts.
What is the truth?
It may therefore very well be that either the organizers of the Teknologia 25 fair are operating under a false premise—or worse, clinging to a long-debunked neuro-myth born in a windowless Bavarian lab filled with emotionally unavailable engineers and far too many oscilloscopes. And that the attendees are simply succumbing to years of peer pressure—pressure so persistent and well-dressed it eventually rebranded itself as culture… Or it may very well be that all men are, in fact, helpless—minds hijacked by what evolutionary psychologists might call a memetic virus, leaving them with neither the means nor the will to resist, biologically preordained to attend.
Be that as it may, and regardless of whether this collective march toward blinking LEDs and keynote-laden convention halls is biologically hardwired or the result of a memetic social contagion, it’s best we accept our fate—and make the most of it. So, if you’re one of the tech-curious or biologically compromised, here’s what you need to know before entering the temple of Nordic industrial worship:

- Robotics (robotiikka)
- ICT & 3D technologies
- NEW in 2025: Dual‑use technologies (kaksikäyttöteknologiat) & quantum technology (kvanttiteknologia)
Unconfirmed but heavily rumored
Rumors are circulating that Teknologia 25 may feature an entire section dedicated to the unsung titans of homegrown innovation, as insiders insist these represent the pinnacle of user-centric must-have tech: the latest in TV remote controls, automatic vacuum cleaners with built in toasters, overpriced sport and diving watches, and latest cutting-edge ski and golf gear.
The best Teknologia 25 after party
As usual, when it comes to debates about science, politics or watches Crystal Show Club remains a supportive but neutral player refusing to call a side. What we are consistently though, is intensly dedicated on what we are known to be the best at: organizing the best after parties with beautiful international dancers across 2 floors and VIP areas. The party atmosphere is often described by authorities as borderline pandemical – once you enter you are in it.
So yes by all means get your kicks at Teknologia 25, we encourage it as the fair organization is known for delivering on their promises. And lets face it, it might be exactly what your mind and body need. But what ever you do not overdose on bits, personal smart devices and hertzes, on API’s and AI applications. And even if you do rest assured the cure is only an 8 minute taxi ride away. Our dancers are trained on technical specifications and technology trend forecasts and will be able to address even the most severe cases of industrial transformation jargon bugs over a bottle of champagne.
