- What an interesting lil rabbit whole I stumbled on this Sunday evening. **Sitra**, Finland’s innovation fund under the Parliament, has written a whole series of articles headlined **"How to build a sustainable world with Web 3.0?"**
Listen to this: "A decentralised internet may be fairer than the current one, which means that there is the scope to build a people-centred, fair data economy based on European values." !! 🇫🇮 🫡
(And they say the UK is innovation friendly???)
Here’s the deep dive into how Web 3.0 could build a better world: https://www.sitra.fi/en/publications/how-sustainable-a-world-will-web-3-0-build/
- I love meeting people in different parts of Finland! Yesterday we had an event in the city of Kokkola, talking about data economy to students and local entrepreneurs. Lovely and smart young talent there plenty ✌🏻
- Finnish spring 😍
- Ok hold up. Sitra is officially too cool now
- Lens ecosystem and the entire web3 DeSo is taking off 🚀 Me and my colleague Jukka Vahti wrote while ago why world needs these new more fair and decentralised social media services. Read the article below 👇

[Somen uusi aikakausi? Nämä asiat ratkaisevat, tarjoaako web 3.0 reilun vaihtoehdon digijäteille - Sitra](https://www.sitra.fi/artikkelit/somen-uusi-aikakausi-nama-asiat-ratkaisevat-tarjoaako-web-3-0-reilun-vaihtoehdon-digijateille/)
Digijättien valta paisuu ja sosiaalisen median ongelmien lista on pitkä. Web 3.0 -teknologioihin perustuvat somepalvelut tarjoavat uusia vaihtoehtoja, joissa käyttäjille luvataan hallinta omiin tietoihinsa. Onko edessä somen uusi aikakausi? Tätä pohtivat Heikki Aura ja Jukka Vahti.

- We at Sitra Fund did a study how web3 regulation needs to be develop to boost fairer development and adaptation. Read about it 👇
[Web 3.0 regulation would boost fairer development of the sector - Sitra](https://www.sitra.fi/en/blogs/web-3-0-regulation-would-boost-fairer-development-of-the-sector/)
Web 3.0 companies are calling for the sector to be regulated in Finland. A decentralised internet can be fairer than the current one, but it needs decisive action and common rules.

[Digipower investigation - Sitra](https://www.sitra.fi/en/projects/digipower-investigation/)
How are decision-makers influenced? The purpose of this unique project is to identify new ways of exercising influence and to improve the transparency of the use of data. The aim is to find out how the decision-maker test subjects can be influenced by the data collected about them. At the same time, the investigation will reveal the parties that collect data about us when we use a variety of online services.
- Concentration of digital power and the huge volume of data collected of us without our control is “the inconvenient truth” of our times. This was demonstrated in Digipower investigation by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra where we followed the data flows of decision makers in Finland and the EU.
- Was a great honor to host at Sitra Fund for an audience of 300 people discussing future regulation needs for crypto and web3
- We at Sitra Fund hosted a seminar about future of web3 and how the regulation should be developed to foster innovation
- From Aave with love 🤍
- I just voted "For" on "KIP-32: StarCB EEIMP Project" @KlimaDAO @SnapshotLabs
