Aalto University, The Startup Springboard
Behind Aalto's energetic entrepreneurial community are both student-led activities and the university's own research and innovation hubs. Our ecosystem serves as an accelerator and a launchpad for both startups-to-be and people.
Good research ideas turn into great business initiatives in Aalto's incubators and accelerators; many students follow unforeseeable pathways towards trailblazing entrepreneurship. Almost 100 companies are founded every year in the university ecosystem, which amounts to 50% of start-ups originating from Finnish universities annually. We like to think that they spring up like mushrooms in an Otaniemi forest!
This blog series keeps you up-to-date with what's up, what's to come and where to look from in the search of the next mind-boggling thing in the Aalto ecosystem. Welcome!
