inspiring growth-minded young students and entrepreneurs since 2009.
Little more than a decade ago the startup scene in Finland was really non-existent. A group of young and enthusiastic individuals in Turku thought this needed to change. They founded Boost Turku in 2009 to inspire and support young entrepreneurs. Since that fateful day there has been countless success stories brought to life at Boost.
