At Slush, we will be presenting ambitious technological solutions for quantum computers, new types of electric motors, dementia monitoring, and bio-based packaging materials, among other things. At our booth, you can also learn about the new Founder School entrepreneurship initiative, which consists of entrepreneurship studies open to all Aalto students, a coaching program tailored to the most promising ideas, and a series of public lectures held by successful growth entrepreneurs.
"The success of growth companies is the strongest asset of the Finnish economy and, therefore, the entire country. The goal of the program is to launch more companies from Aalto in the future—and to give them even better tools for success," says serial entrepreneur Mårten Mickos.
Welcome to the Aalto booth to meet researchers and the leaders of Founder School!
