Grano Ltd. has signed a collaboration agreement with the Kuopion Suunnistajat and the Finnish Orienteering Federation for the partnership regarding the 2025 World Orienteering Championships in Kuopio.
Through this agreement, Grano is the designated partner for marketing, advertising, and visibility products of the World Orienteering Championships (WOC2025), as well as the collaborating partner responsible for digital displays. This partnership is not solely limited to the 2025 World Championships, but it encompasses a series of three events. The three-event series includes the KuOpio23 Pre-WOC-competition held at the end of August 2023, the 2024 Orienteering World Cup, and culminates in the WOC2025 championship week from July 12th to 17th, 2025. All orienteering events will be organized in the vicinity of Kuopio and Tahko.
The established agreement continues the multifaceted orienteering collaboration initiated between the partners since 2014, extending at least until the year 2025. “It’s truly effortless to organize the World Championships and other events when we have a capable partner who understands orienteering and its specific requirements for marketing, advertising, visibility products, and digital displays. Furthermore, I’m personally delighted that our collaboration, which began with the 2014 Jukola Relay, now continues in the form of the World Championships in Kuopio,” says Timo Suhonen, responsible for the marketing of the World Championships on behalf of Kuopion Suunnistajat.
