I am happy to invite you to participate in our annual Tervatynnyri pitch competition, which aims to inspire businesses and generate new ideas. Through this competition, we aim to promote the development of startup culture and support the growth of entrepreneurship.
Bringing forth new ideas is crucial as we strive to create innovative solutions that can transform our environment. Entrepreneurship is important for both society and individuals; it creates new jobs, promotes economic growth, and enables individuals to realize their dreams. Entrepreneurship also provides a platform for innovations that can improve quality of life and address current challenges.
Our Tervatynnyri competition has been developed every year, and we are particularly proud that the IDEA series, which was held for the first time last year, was experienced as very successful. Inspired by this feedback, we are organizing it for the second time now. The idea series offers participants the opportunity to showcase their ideas and get excited about entrepreneurship, even if they do not yet have a ready business plan.
Entrepreneurship provides the opportunity to pursue one’s passions and create value for oneself and the surrounding society.
Our competition also includes the MASTER series, which is aimed at more experienced entrepreneurs or teams that have already advanced in the development of their business. In the MASTER series, participants have the opportunity to develop their ideas in depth, receive expert mentoring, and network with other professionals in their field. The goal is to help participants take their business plans to the next level and prepare them for future challenges.
This year, we are also proud to announce that our competition has new sponsors from various companies as well as new organizations that support the execution of the competition. Our collaboration with the involved parties ensures that the competition provides participants with even more valuable resources and networks. We hope that our competition serves as a common platform for entrepreneurship in Western Finland and brings together the region’s talents and innovations.
I personally find it very important and meaningful that everyone finds their own thing, can even make a living from it, and can thrive through it. Entrepreneurship provides the opportunity to pursue one’s passions and create value for oneself and the surrounding community. I hope that the competition inspires you to find your own path and build your own future. I am looking forward to our collaboration and wish you success in the competition!
The registration opens on October 1st. on Tervatynnyri.fi.
