Where ideas meet, teams form, and new discussions begin.

Have an idea worth exploring? Looking for a co-founder? Curious about what’s happening in University of Helsinki’s pre-incubator Pathways?

Join us for Helsinki Innovation Collider — an evening bringing together aspiring early-stage teams and their ideas, emerging founders, innovators and the wider startup community to spark connections and turn ideas into opportunities.

Discover fresh ideas from Helsinki Incubators’ latest pre-incubator programme, meet ambitious founders and hear them pitch what they’re building. Whether you’re a student, researcher or professional with an entrepreneurial spark, an early-stage founder looking for collaborators, or simply curious about new innovations, this is your chance to connect with like-minded people and explore what could be next.

Looking to start something of your own? Bring your idea, research or curiosity. Meet the Helsinki Incubators team, share your thoughts, get feedback and discover how to take your first steps towards entrepreneurship.

You might find your future co-founder, a new collaborator, an inspiring idea or the beginning of something bigger.

Come curious. Leave connected. Who knows what you might build together?
