Taking a look back at all the posters you might have seen around campus over the first half of the year. 🤩 Over the past 6 months we have learnt a lot. We’ve learnt about building a community of people genuienly excited about their interests and further developing them. We’ve learnt about creating, planning and hosting different types of events and projects such as smaller workshops, fireside chats and bigger events for the whole community. Our highlights include a learning trip to San Francisco, interrail trip with our friends from other Finnish entrepreneurship societies and seeing people go from inspiration to planning to execution. We are excited to see what more the autumn holds! For now, we’re logging off for the summer🌞 Startup World loading… August 26th-27th👀👀
