Startup Founders' Town

Each year 80 startup companies are founded on the Aalto University campus in Espoo and 50% of Finland’s hitech patents are filed in this relatively small area. It's a large number, so why and how is this happening? What’s the secret?

There are three reasons as to why this is occurring:

1. High density of entrepreneur-minded people from students, researchers and entrepreneurs.
2. World-class infrastructure, such as labs, accelerator/incubator programs and graduate courses.
3. …and probably the most important, SHARING & NETWORKING CULTURE through low hierarchy structures!
