Every winter since 2022, Lumi gathers the season's most remarkable AI startups and honours the top three in each of eight fields. Named for the Finnish word for snow.
See the winners →Each field's podium for the year, with the badge every winner can display.
No sponsorships. No pay-to-place. A small circle of builders and researchers deliberates each winter.
Hundreds of startups are considered each season, nominated by the community and the circle.
The circle weighs craft, adoption, and the judgement of people who use the work daily.
Three are named in each field. Winners receive a Lumi seal to display.
Lumi began in 2022 as a small winter tradition among friends in the Helsinki tech scene and grew into the north's most-watched AI honours. We publish once a year, and we take our time.
