Viikki Think Corner company (Latokartanonkaari 3)

Organized with VIPA and Helsinki Incubators, discover how would your research be as a startup company.

In this workshop, we will let our creative confidence shine. Our goal is to understand what impact your topic of research and studies could have to the world as an innovation or a company. We will learn what it takes from an invention such as discovery of “electricity” to become a system changing innovation in societies and how us researchers are central part of the world’s novelties!

This workshop will consist of short introduction to the topic, brainstorming exercises, and understanding your role in the envisioned future. You will experience the different steps that forge the startup culture, using associations thinking, brainstorming and following startup team structure models to understand what your unique position is in making the innovation become reality.

For example, we are able to use the newest AI tool which we have in Helsinki Incubators to generate business plans from research during the workshop to give concrete examples of participants’ own research.

The event is organized with VIPA and Helsinki Incubators. Santeri Tuovila is the workshop host, with experience in organizing several innovation and startup programmes as well as self-development workshops and courses.
