What management said
Hello, and welcome to Vaisala's First Quarter Audiocast and Conference Call. I'm Niina Ala-Luopa from Vaisala's Investor Relations. And today here with me are President and CEO, Kai Oistamo; and CFO, Heli Lindfors. First, Kai and Heli will present Vaisala's first quarter key highlights and financials, and then we will continue with Q&A. So let's start, Kai.
Yes. Good question. Thank you, Nikko. I would say this way that the demand was actually strong, as Heli said, across all geographies, all market segments, just picking up the absolute strongest. That's what this is. I think the entire demand was really on a very good level. So whether we talk about data centers or semiconductor or power on a very good level on the demand side.
