For those striving for a Deep Tech & AI-enabled sustainable future, NEXUS is the place to turn crystallised solutions into entrepreneurial journeys. Personalised guidance & support, international networks, world-class mentors and experts — all to guarantee your success.
Our Health & Pharma incubator journey differs slightly from others. Once teams have crystallised their idea, we encourage teams to first apply to the SPARK Finland programme before continuing on to the Health Incubator Helsinki programme for a fully fledged development journey.
More information about both can be found from the Health & Pharma incubator page. The call is currently open for Health Incubator Helsinki until the 31st of March, and the next call will be for SPARK Finland in May 2024.
For those working for global solutions, the Viikki-based Biosphere is an incubator programme to harness their bio- and circular economy solutions for the benefit of the globe. Come develop your business and join like-minded entrepreneurs, mentors, and change-makers.
Applications for the third programme are currently open! Apply by 1 May for a programme that will run from May to November, 2024.
For those shaking up the societal status quo, TREMOR is the place to cause shockwaves by taking well-defined solutions and work on turning them into entrepreneurial reality with support & mentoring tailored to their change-making needs.
