Overview and purpose

COryhmän is depicted as a non-governmental organization headquartered in Helsinki. Its stated mission is to promote evidence-based policy, cross-sector collaboration, and civic participation in public decision-making. The group positions itself as a bridge between civil society, the private sector, and government, aiming to foster constructive dialogue on complex policy challenges.

Organization and activities

The organization is described as having a board of directors, an executive director, and several working committees (policy, research, outreach, and communications). Membership is open to individuals, small and medium-sized enterprises, and non-governmental organizations, with categories such as individual, corporate, and student. Core activities include publishing policy briefs, organizing seminars and conferences, hosting issue-centered coalitions, and participating in public consultations.
