Meeri Toivanen

Specialist, Programmes

I am a legal expert specialising in EU regulations and competition policy. I work as a specialist in Sitra’s International function. I am interested in how the evolving regulatory environment can enable innovations and how technologies can make the implementation of regulations as effortless as possible.

Before Sitra, I worked on international trade negotiations at the European Commission and in Geneva after graduating from the London School of Economics. I have also served as Vice President of the European Law Students’ Association in Brussels.

Since early 2021, I have been working at Sitra, examining changes in the regulation of the internal market and the opportunities it opens for Finns to succeed in the data economy. I am passionate about the identification of opportunities in the regulatory environment and for the planning of participatory processes. If you are interested in these themes, do not hesitate to contact me.
