CONNECTED COMMUNITIES

“In our second year we continued with our mission to foster collaboration and community building within the startup ecosystem, and enable a higher success rate of early-stage companies by providing the teams with the right growth toolkit. 

Concept matured, we grew organically and in the right segments:

+750 changemakers from which 47% startup attendees.

50% attendee number increase from 2018, doubled the amount of investors. 

45% attendees from outside Tampere region.  

Brella was on fire with close to 2500 meeting communications recorded!

Workshops, Venture Client School Day,  Roundtable discussions, Speed-Dating sessions per industry, Founder Stories, Deep Tech & Impact themed Pitching Competitions, Firesides, Investor side-event, Investor Academy, 1-1 meetings and After-Parties. 

All set to empower entrepreneurs to solve today’s most challenging problems. Showcase impactful business and investment. And help pave the way for a more diverse and sustainable business culture.

And none of this would have been possible without the fantastic support of our over 70 partners & community organizations. 

Thank you for trusting in our mission and helping us put Tampere on the startup map!
