Roope Mokka

Roope is all about the future. For many the future seems scary, but where some see problems Roope sees solutions. He has an exceptional mindset to see the pathway for societal transformation. He gathers impactful alliances through various fields to work together with a shared goal. Whether it is learning or unlearning, Roope leads us through the required processes for a better future.

When something is exceptionally difficult, Roope is your guy.

The unimaginative future talk was a key inspiration for Roope to create Demos Helsinki and shift these views.  As our co-founder, he has seen all the different ways Demos Helsinki has been making a difference since. His role in developing our work has been and continues to be irreplaceable. He is a master of creating new and has gained over 20 years of experience in both domestic and international change-making working with central and regional governments, cities, corporations, startups, NGOs and Festivals. This has given him the ability to contextualise work like no other and foresee rising phenomena.

Roope is a well-known academic, speaker, author, artist, teacher, advisor, leader and party entertainer.

Roope is also an expert in selfies: through his artwork, he once gathered over 4700 previously unpublished selfies.
