Purpose of the Competition
The Turku Developer Award is a prestigious recognition awarded annually by the Turku Junior Chamber of Commerce since 1988 to a person, company, community, or action that has significantly increased active cooperation between the business community and other societal actors and positively influenced the development of Turku.

In 2026, the theme of the competition is 'Future-Makers'.
