Our startup Uploadcare handles uploading, storing and processing files for our customer. It feels fantastic to be here at Startup Sauna. These guys have offered us not only working spaces but also a great network.

I have recently been interested in the opportunities afforded by synthetic biology. By creating a form for some technological innovation, we give better possibilities for discussion concerning the innovation.
Antti Ikonen
Last autumn, I participated in organising a course on electronic art, during which students of technology and art had no problems in finding common ground. A thorough plan paid itself back as the course succeeded seamlessly.
Bruno Sousa
I have played different instruments since I was a child, but only started to play the bassoon at a Brazilian conservatory of music when I was 18. Now, I play in the Polytech Orchestra. This spring, we are going to Scotland to play Sibelius's music.

Dipoli was originally built to accommodate student needs. Before renovation of Dipoli began, we wanted to include students in the development of the building's concept and vision.
Joonas Rouhiainen
I have received a lot of positive feedback on the junat.net service, which I have done the coding for. I was pleased with the feedback from the Finnish Federation of the Visually Impaired, which stated that my website has drastically changed the lives of many people.

A friend who studies architecture and myself have a shared gardening plot in Otaniemi. We grow pumpkin, radish, kale, mint and flowers.
Essi Similä
Since my bicycle was stolen a couple years ago, I have travelled my commutes in the Helsinki Metropolitan area on foot. The commute from Arabianranta to Otaniemi does not take much longer on foot than when sitting in a bus.
Angela Lin
I'm an interior architect by profession, but I often find that my role is that of a bridge builder. For example, as part of my MA studies, I’m creating a concept for brand storytelling at Iittala's Asian retail locations.
Jaan Praks
We have been the first in Finland to build nanosatellites, and, now, we are looking further ahead. However, what I'm waiting for most from the future is completely new and unexpected innovations.
Sanna Halmkrona
In our guild, we organise all kinds of events, and my favourite among them is “Kotimaan pitkä” (‘The long tour of Finland’). We spend three days touring Finland in a bus getting to know different workplaces in our field.
Ilkka Särkiö
Minut valittiin juuri AYY:n hallitukseen. Opiskelijayhteisö on niin hieno, että olen jo vuoden ajan tehnyt ylioppilaskunnan ja killan kautta vapaaehtoishommia sen puolesta.
Alvaro Mompo Camarasa
I love the weather, my professors and my apartment here in Otaniemi. I planned to study here at Aalto University for half a year only, but after a few months I realised it would be better for my future to stay here.
Maarit Hannula
I've grown very enthusiastic about lean startup thinking. I am putting together a change agent group here at Smartum, which will be tasked with eliminating obstacles and simplifying meticulous testing and flexible work.
Maija Gulin
There are many international students at Aalto University. It would be nice, if these students could help highlight different cultures more prominently on campus.
Riina Jokiranta
At regular intervals, I get the feeling that, heck, this is so cool! I have no trouble believing the mantra the teachers keep trumpeting about how studying here is the best time in their lives for many students.
Lauri Suua
When the temperature drops below zero, this athletics field in Otaniemi is frozen into a skating rink. This is an excellent way to unwind and clear my mind of too many thoughts.
Anna-Leena Hetemäki
After I returned from student exchange to my studies in Finland, KY-Speksi at the School of Business introduced me to the theatre and band scene. There I have felt that I can be involved in things totally as my own self.
Mike Prisikar
This is the first time I’m riding a bike in this cold weather. As I have become the first-time champion of winter biking today, I can share my best tips.
Oskari Päivinen
I was hanging out at my friend's place. When we could not find a Rubik's Cube we went in search of one from a neighbour. We ended up chatting with the neighbour about skateboarding. An hour later, we had decided to establish Aalto Skate.
