We packaged the story of Kymi Ring and Lahti Events in Yle Häme’s live webcast. Decision-makers from Lahti participated in the discussion.
Kymi Ring, which went bankrupt, and especially the city’s events company’s role in the stages of the railway company, have become the talk of the spring in Lahti.
The shattered dreams of bringing the Moto GP race to the Lahti region brought down the city’s event company at the same time. Lahti taxpayers were left with nothing but the millions they received from Kymi Ring’s bankruptcy estate.
What should be learned from all this? In general, how much should the city participate in the production of major events in the future?
