The story of Tavata
Tavata Global Oy was founded in 2018, when five seasoned professionals from different fields joined forces to develop Tavata, a networking service. Tavata was born out of the need to make networking at events more effective and to enable new, meaningful encounters and collaborations. Over the years, we have grown Tavata from a networking tool into a comprehensive event platform, so that we can meet the changing needs of organizing events and creating encounters ever better.
Since autumn 2026, Tavata has been part of Eventilla
In September 2026, Eventilla acquired Tavata. Tavata Global Oy continues as a subsidiary of Eventilla, and Tavata continues as its own product – same name, same service, same address, tavata.events. What changes is that Tavata now has Eventilla's sales, customer service and development team behind it.
Eventilla is a Finnish event management platform founded in 2010: registration, ticketing, event communications and reporting. Tavata has always focused on what happens at the event – encounters, matchmaking (connecting attendees intelligently) and meeting booking. Now the picture is complete: Eventilla brings attendees to the event. Tavata gets them meeting.
The products are already connected, and the connection will deepen step by step. The organizer decides event by event whether networking is on, and each attendee chooses when registering whether to take part.
Tavata's founders are handing Tavata over to a home where it can grow, and they continue as its advocates. The developer who built Tavata keeps working on it, now with a team around them.
