Hellon

How can AI, innovation, and partnerships accelerate progress toward the SDGs? Hellon’s Managing Director Timo Pätiälä chaired a powerful discussion at the United Nations Global Pulse event in Helsinki, bringing together leaders from UNICEF, the Finnish Parliament, the Ministry of Transport and Communications, the University of Helsinki, and the private sector. The conversation reminded us that achieving the 2030 goals requires collaboration across science, policy, and business, rather than silos. 🧠 𝗔𝗜 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

MIT report shared this shocking number, and we started wondering: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱? Most AI projects are trapped in proof-of-concept purgatory. Achieving real business outcomes with AI agents requires a three-step approach most organisations miss. When you get this right, AI moves from expensive experiments to measurable business impact. Read what are the three steps to bridge the gap: Link in the comments! #AIAgents #AgenticExperiences #EnablingNewHorizons

95% of GenAI pilots fail to deliver measurable ROI. Why? Because most tools don’t adapt, learn, or integrate into real workflows. Are you using AI as an 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 – or as an 𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩 that delivers impact? The winners of the agentic era are already seeing millions in savings, faster lead qualification, and stronger customer loyalty. AI Agents aren’t just assistants – they’re proactive, context-aware systems that reshape customer experience and business performance.
