DNA is again the main partner of SuomiAreena, held this year between 15 and 19 July, and will provide the event with extensive telecommunications connections. As in previous years, DNA will also provide SuomiAreena with its own TV channel, SuomiAreenaTV*. In addition to the impressive summer concert, the event will include an opportunity to explore the DNA Smart Home showcasing home telecommunication services of the future.
Summer concert to feature Finnish hits and a summery atmosphere
“DNA’s entertaining summer concert has drawn a full crowd to Raatihuoneenpuisto, Pori for the last four years and our popular concert is coming again this summer. The sweltering atmosphere of last year’s concert was enjoyed by as many as 7,500 spectators on the spot. It is excellent that MTV will also broadcast the summer concert for all television viewers in prime time on Saturday night, right after the event”, says Vilhelmiina Wahlbeck, Vice President of DNA’s Corporate Communications.
“It is fantastic that the DNA summer concert is once again taking over SuomiAreena. Year after year, the concert has attracted a staggering number of fans of SuomiAreena and good music to the Purje stage”, says Mari Haavisto, Executive Producer of SuomiAreena and Chief Content Officer of Mediahub.
The DNA summer concert will be held on the SuomiAreena Purje stage in Raatihuoneenpuisto, Pori on Wednesday, 17 July at 7 pm. The concert will feature the Finnish top artists Maija Vilkkumaa, Michael Monroe and Vilma Alina. The event will be hosted by actor, singer and presenter Roope Salminen and Vilhelmiina Wahlbeck, Vice President of Corporate Communications at DNA.
DNA’s concert “Roope Salminen ja tähdet Porin illassa” (“Night with Roope Salminen and stars in Pori”) will be broadcast live on the SuomiAreenaTV channel on 17 July. The recorded event may also be viewed on the MTV3 channel on Saturday, 20 July at 8 pm.

Älypuhelinten käyttö vähenee pienillä lapsilla – pelkkä rajoittaminen ei silti riitä20.5.2026 09:15:00 EEST | Tiedote
DNA panostaa vahvasti ja pitkäjänteisesti lasten digiturvataitojen kehittämiseen yhteistyökumppaninsa Suojellaan Lapsia ry:n kanssa, joka on järjestänyt pienille koululaisille digiturvatyöpajoja jo useamman vuoden ajan. Tänä keväänä yhtiö jakoi lisäksi digitaitojen tehtävävihkoja yli 230 000 suomalaiseen kotiin. Vaikka älypuhelinten käyttö aloitetaan aiempaa myöhemmin, lapset kohtaavat verkossa suuriakin riskejä – ja siksi digiturvataitojen merkitys korostuu entisestään. Aihe korostuu juuri nyt, kun koululaisten kesälomat alkavat ennen vanhempien lomakautta. Kesäkuussa moni lapsi viettää pitkiä aikoja kotona ja verkossa ilman aikuisen valvontaa, mikä lisää riskiä kohdata haitallista sisältöä tai epäasiallisia yhteydenottoja.
Smartphone use is declining among small children – but limiting the use is not enough20.5.2026 09:15:00 EEST | Press release
DNA is consistently developing children’s digital safety skills together with its partner Protect Children Association, which has been organizing digital safety workshops for young schoolchildren for several years. This spring, the company also distributed digital skills exercise booklets to more than 230,000 Finnish homes. Although children are starting to use smartphones later than before, they still face major risks online – which makes digital safety skills more important than ever. The topic is particularly relevant right now, as school summer holidays begin before many parents start their own vacations. In June, many children spend long periods at home and online without adult supervision, which increases the risk of encountering harmful content or inappropriate contact.
Kevätsiivouksessa sivuutetaan usein elektroniikka – vanhoja laitteita ei kannata jättää kaapin pohjalle19.5.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kevätsiivouksen yhteydessä vanhat puhelimet, tabletit ja johdot päätyvät monessa kodissa takaisin laatikon pohjalle, koska niiden jatkokohtalosta ei osata päättää tai oikeista kierrätystavoista ei tiedetä. DNA:n laitemyynnin osastopäällikkö Jesse Kieksin mukaan kyseessä on haitallinen tapa, joka voi aiheuttaa tietoturva- ja turvallisuusriskejä sekä turhaa rahanmenetystä ja ympäristökuormitusta.
Electronics often overlooked in spring cleaning – old devices should not be left at the back of a drawer19.5.2026 13:00:00 EEST | Press release
During spring cleaning, old phones, tablets and cables often end up back at the bottom of drawers in many homes, as people are unsure what to do with them or are unfamiliar with proper recycling methods. According to Jesse Kieksi, Head of Device Sales at DNA, this is a harmful habit that can lead to data security and safety risks, as well as unnecessary financial loss and environmental harm.
