Welcome to join us for a sneak peak of the new StartUp space! There will be a whole week filled with entrepreneurship, more of the program below. The joint StartUp Factory project of all univerisities in Vaasa is  officially opening the space at University of Vaasa, Fabriikki (2:nd floor) designated to entrepreneurship and innovation. The space will evolve over time together with all stakeholders and active partners as this is a true StartUp in itself!

Hope to see you at our official opening on 3.10!
P.S. The arcade is open on Thursday & Friday from 15-19.

Start Up Factory i Fabriikki  är Vasa högskolornas och universitetens gemensamma plats för entreprenörskap och innovation. Här kan studerande hämta inspiration, utveckla och få stöd för sin företagsidé, och en plats och ett nätverk att bolla med. Den 3.10 kl 9-12 är det invigning med öppet hus, och en hel vecka fylld med entreprenörskap, se program nedan.
Välkomna till  VY/ Fabriikki, och bekanta er med utrymmet och planerna för det nya gemensamma Start Up Factory i Vasa!
