For Students

Are you a University of Helsinki student in health and life sciences? Through our curated events and initiatives, we provide hands-on experiences that foster creativity, problem-solving, entrepreneurial thinking and access to the wider startup ecosystem in the Metropolitan area.

A Coworking Space and Event Venue

First and foremost, we are an active coworking space in Meilahti campus that local students use to study and brainstorm ideas over a cup of coffee. Additionally, we are an event venue that anyone with health and life science in mind can book for free.

Startup Deep Dive

Together with the Faculty of Medicine, Startup Deep Dive aims to give students an opportunity to immerse into research commercialisation and network with companies and projects that emerged from health and life science research at the University. The monthly selected students get access to our space, community events, and gain connections in life science innovation ecosystem in Finland and abroad.

Past Activities

Whether it was running pre-incubator programmes, corporate collaborations, or monthly webinars – schedules shifted, priorities evolved, and for one reason or another, we stopped. While those activities were valuable, we’ve moved on to new things, leaving them in the past.
