Coffee & Concept – Idea Sparring for Future Entrepreneurs
Aika
15.4.2025 klo 9.00 - 10.45
Are you interested in entrepreneurship in the food industry but not sure where to start? Do you have a rough idea, a dream of starting a business, or a concept that’s already taking shape? Join us for a low-threshold sparring session where you can brainstorm, get expert feedback, and learn more about starting a business – all in a relaxed and supportive environment.
The event is free and open to everyone interested in entrepreneurship – especially food industry students and aspiring entrepreneurs. The event will be held in English.
We’ll kick things off with coffee, a light breakfast, and networking, where you’ll have a chance to meet other participants and hear insights from our expert, Lauri Koittola, Executive Director & Head Coach at Boost Turku ry. Next, we’ll warm up with a quick idea-generation exercise to get everyone thinking – no need to have a polished idea, just curiosity and an open mind!
The rest of the session will be dedicated to informal discussions and sparring in small groups, with Lauri offering guidance and feedback. We’ll wrap up with key takeaways and tips for moving forward.
Join us to get inspired, explore new ideas, and develop your own – all while enjoying a cup of coffee and a light breakfast!
