We believe in doing.

Society

Boost Turku is a student-based network for young entrepreneurs and entrepreneur-minded people sharing knowledge among the universities of Turku. Boost Turku strives to be an ‘easy-access’ open society for any kind of academic entrepreneurial matter. The underlying reasons for being involved in the society vary in large scale. It can be anything from just being interested in entrepreneurship as a concept to aiming to establish a global business changing the world. The core idea of Boost Turku is to match active people and create motion both within and outside of the society.

Science of Doing

We believe in doing. Doing in an open and laid back cross-faculty environment. We believe that in this way we can expand the networks and horizons of young like-minded people.

We want to support universities in Turku area in their existing cross-faculty efforts by organizing different kind of activities, which can take theories into action. At the moment this is done in form of social nights, pitch events, workshops, startup visits. There are some new concepts under development. The best and most functional ones will be launched in moths to come. Your contribution might be a crucial for these projects, so feel free to join us for further planning sessions.

Mentors and Connections

We also want to introduce mentoring to young entrepreneurs. We'd like to see Boost in the frontline of creating more value by providing connections of mentors, funding and team members. Mentors posses either a great skills through own experiences in entrepreneurship or are highly specialized in some particular field of knowledge. Mentors enjoy sharing their ideas and helping others creating and developing new ones.
