This week in Helsinki was one for the books, filled with insights, innovation, and inspiration from our 90 Day Finns. #TGIF! 🎉 👾 We kicked off the week with a visit to Europe's first decacorn, Supercell, where our participants got a firsthand look at why Helsinki is the mobile gaming capital of the world (at least that's what the BBC called us). We learned about Supercells unique approach to game development – releasing 6 games while 'killing' over 30. 💸 We hosted a compelling panel on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Investment featuring insights from our 90 Day Finns, Sagar (Beyond Impact VC) & Staci (Dream Big Ventures LLC), board member Riku Asikainen (Evli Growth Partners), and Suvi Collin (FVCA - Pääomasijoittajat). Did you know that globally, less than 8-10% of investment professionals in senior roles are women? We talked about how together we can work to shape more inclusive investment strategies in Helsinki and the world. 🤝 Our annual 90 Day Finn Alumni Gathering brought together over 50 past and present 90 Day Finns to share growth stories and exchange ideas. The day featured speed dating and a thought-provoking discussion on "How the world is today" led by Stefan Lindström, Ambassador of Technology at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. We also explored the intersection of Human-Centric Design and AI with insights from Professor Laura Ruotsalainen (University of Helsinki) and tech entrepreneur George Tang (90 Day Finn 2022). The day ended with a Baltic Sea swim, sauna, and camaraderie at Villa Furuvik—celebrating #BalticSeaDay. ✊ The week culminated with a powerful discussion on Female-Led Businesses and Investments. We heard inspiring keynotes from Marja-Leena Haapanen (Naisten Oma Pörssiklubi Oy - Ladies Own Bource Club Finland), Ekaterina Gianelli (Calm/Storm), and Staci LaToison (Dream Big Ventures LLC & 90 Day Finn 2024). These conversations sparked actionable ideas to further elevate women in business and solidify Helsinki’s role as a leader in female entrepreneurship. This week was a powerful reminder of Helsinki’s potential as a global business hub—where innovation, diversity, and community come together to create lasting impact. We can’t wait to see how our 90 Day Finns will leverage these experiences to drive new opportunities in Helsinki and beyond. #90DayFinn #WhyHelsinki #DEI #HumanCentricDesign #FemaleLeadership #InnovationInHelsinki #HelsinkiPartners #BusinessExpansion

What could one week in Helsinki do for your business? 🤔 Our 90 Day Finns have just wrapped up an inspiring week, and their experiences speak volumes. Check out the week's highlights below! 👇 🧠 Helsinki thrives on forward-thinking ideas and VTT, the technical research center of Finland, is at the forefront. As Antti Vasara, President & CEO, put it: "Did you ever think we could grow coffee in a lab in Finland, make egg white without chickens, solve energy challenges with small nuclear reactors or scale up quantum computers towards 300 qubits?" 🤯 Mind-blowing, right? Fortunately, with Lotta Partanen and her LaunchPad team, these innovations are transforming into spin-offs like Enifer. ⚡️Energy is the lifeblood of innovation, and Helen, one of Finland’s largest energy companies, is constantly optimising and evolving. Helen Ventures is leading the charge with smart investments that are supercharging the future. 🧑🧑🧒🧒The happiest business program in the world (according to us) wouldn't be the same without the whole family. We’re thrilled to have the Marsland family with us for 90 Day Finn 2024. Last week, we indulged in the beloved Fazer, one of Finland's largest food corporations that also produces Finlands most loved chocolate 🍫 and ventured into Nuuksio National Park for a day of hiking, berry picking, mushroom hunting, and campfire coffee 🌲. 🔐Things got techie at the Finnish Information Security Cluster (FISC) - Kyberala ry when we discussed the European "Regulaatiotsunami" 🌪 🤖 🤝 Our motto is simple – we match people with possibilities. That’s why we hosted a networking event where our 90 Day Finns connected with Helsinki’s vibrant business community. 💸 Finally, FVCA - Pääomasijoittajat & Finnish Business Angels Network (FiBAN) shared valuable insights and sparked lively discussions about investments, challenges, and future trends. Here's to another inspiring week in Helsinki 🙌 Chloe Straw, Diego Vazquez Lozano, Hiromi Yamada, Marina Barboza, Megumi Umeda, Parthvee Jain, Rajul Garg, Rodolphe Célestin, Sagar T., Staci LaToison, Thines Rao R., Veronika Marsland, Vincent Marsland, MBA #90DayFinn2024 #BusinessExpansion #Nordics #WhyHelsinki #HelsinkiHappiness #LifeInHEL #90DayFinn
