According to Palmroos, the event discussed various topics that the participants felt were important. He himself wanted to highlight the “culture of courage” when it comes to, for example, starting a family or starting a company or internationalization.

Chef Hanna Himanka also participated in the event. Himanka says that various topics were widely discussed at the event. He himself wanted to highlight the situation of entrepreneurs in the creative field and the possibility of a sparring and mentoring network that would be easy to access and provide support.
– I myself have been doing such free sparring sessions for half a year now and have been able to chat with over two hundred entrepreneurs. I have received quite important information about what are challenging things in trying. I talked about them myself, says Himanka.

– Of course, I was taken by the invitation and the fact that alongside the traditional media, our media has also been considered at such a high level. I think it was a really important opening and I hope that it will continue, Himanka says to Iltalehte.
The entrepreneurs who participated in the event have also shared content from the event on their own social media channels.
