1 FINNISH EDUCATION FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD

2 BUILT ON EDUCATION IS NOT ONLY KNOWN for its spectacular nature but also for innovations and high technology. The game industry and design are areas where Finnish brands are among the best in the world. Located at the gateway between east and west, Finland has a long tradition of doing business across cultures. The Finnish start-up ecosystem is a global phenomena and the home of Slush, one of the leading tech and start-up events in the world. The Finnish education system is well-respected around the world and placed high in global rankings. This is the place to become a professional and to foster the right entrepreneurial mindset for future career demands. I chose to study in Finland and at Haaga-Helia because of the good educational reputation. My goal was also to combine business with ICT in my studies. Haaga-Helia Start-up School offered great support in establishing my own company, Eve-Tech Oy. Here teachers give support, but the students have the main responsibility and freedom to find their own career paths. eve-tech.com KONSTANTINOS KARATSEVIDIS UKRAINE STARTUP SCHOOL #1 IN THE EU IN QUALITY OF EXPORT PRODUCTS European Commission #2 INNOVATOR IN CLEANTECH Global Cleantech Innovation Index STARTUP SCHOOL is a program at Haaga- Helia UAS that supports students to become entrepreneurs.
