UEF Startup Day returns again to the Joensuu Campus!
Held for the sixth time, the UEF Startup Day will once again gather startup cases from the University of Eastern Finland, people interested in entrepreneurship, and Joensuu’s startup stakeholders in the Carelia building lobby on Wednesday, November 26, from 10:00 to 14:00.
As in previous times, the event will showcase startup companies connected to UEF, entrepreneurship cases and commercialisation projects. In addition, participants will receive information about the entrepreneurship services and courses offered by the university and its partners. These services help students and researchers develop their own businesses, product or service ideas, as well as an entrepreneurial way of thinking.
A diverse selection of case presentations will once again be featured:
• COMPLETE (Tayaab Farooq)
• Wave-R (Santeri Silvennoinen)
• STEM Education (Ghadeer Hamed)
• GIONIZE (Aleksey Zolotukhin)
• Lumetrix - Transparent Solar Windows (Olga Pereshivko)
• SmartWaste Africa (Reuben Amedalor)
• Sylvi Publishing Oy (Satu Mättö)
The event is organised in cooperation with Joensuu Entrepreneurship Society (JoES).
Everyone interested in entrepreneurship is welcome – students, researchers and staff members regardless of their field of study or educational background, as well as representatives of entrepreneurship-related stakeholder organisations.
The main language of the event is English. Pizza and coffee will be available to those who register in advance by Monday, November 24!
