This event is directed towards foreign students in Finland.
Entrepreneurship is probably the fastest mechanism of societal transformation. And of all different forms of entrepreneurship the student-driven type is the one with most energy; it uses the fearless power of youth to create better futures for all of us, everywhere.
Come to the event if you have thought about building your own startup!
