Know your entrepreneurship!

Here in Otaniemi lies the melting pot of ideas which have formed into success stories such as Rovio, Supercell and many more. The Autumn Course will include teaching from one of our high-profile professors, not forgetting the fun: campus life, city rallying, wild parties with Salmiakki and Minttu, forest adventures and of course our famous sauna crawling.
