Kick-off event at Finpro



Our excited group gathered for the first time at the kick-off event, which was hosted at Finpro's corporate headquarters in Ruoholahti. The event started with everyone introducing themselves and telling a bit about their expectations for the upcoming spring. We have got quite a diverse group of students this year as each of the participants is from a different major at Aalto. Three different Aalto Schools are represented- the schools of  Business, Science and Electrical Engineering! The first Stratos session continued with a brief introduction from the coordinators. Outi Torniainen, the SVP of Communications and Marketing at Finpro, followed with a presentation on the work of Finpro and how they are assisting Finnish companies in their internationalization goals. The interesting presentation raised a lot of discussion about the most common problems or concerns Finnish companies face when entering new markets.

We were also extremely glad to to welcome representatives from Fazer, Maija Hellman and Gaia consulting, Laura Hakala, to our kick off session. They gave us a quick overview on their companies and what kinds of projects students will be working on in their companies. After the successful event at Finpro our group continued to Baana to get to know each other a bit better while sipping some sparkling wine.
