The Helsinki Region Softlanding Services for Startups HEVi project gathered startup founders, cities, and ecosystem partners to celebrate the successful project journey.
The SISU FACTORY team, together with Business Finland and other key players in the ecosystem, has built a trusted service model to help startups interested in landing in Finland. Bringing 80+ startups and 240+ founders to the Helsinki metropolitan region is a much-needed boost for the local innovation and growth ecosystem.
It has been a pleasure to follow the SISU journey and the team’s talented and dedicated work in supporting companies and building the service network. It is a remarkable example of what the HEVinnovations programme aims to do and achieve.
The founders highlighted the valuable connections to testbeds and incubators they gained through SISU. This strengthens the motivation to further develop the region’s ecosystem networks and continue bringing stakeholders together. The value of ecosystem activities is sometimes hard to measure, so the founders’ feedback is very important for the HEVinnovations programme.
Thank you for the great work – and the journey continues with the upcoming International Softlanding and Growth Platform HEVi project!
