Everyone has the potential to be an entrepreneur, and therefore, VES is here to serve, support, and enable people to chase their dreams. VES was founded in early 2015 to boost the entrepreneurial scene in the Vaasa region and in only 6 years we have grown to a society that spans over all six universities with the help of great members and volunteers.
Our purpose is to serve the entrepreneurial-minded students with powerful insights, skills, and connections that inspire, motivate, and help them create new businesses. With other entrepreneurship societies in Finland, we are part of the movement towards a more innovative, entrepreneur-friendly, and economically healthy Finland.
Connecting the dots: ideas + people = business
VES is encouraging students to refine their business ideas, or coming up with whole new ones by networking with other entrepreneurial-minded people. By creating chances and connecting the right people with the right ideas we can unleash the unexpected. We’re organized for a joint purpose.
Power of the entrepreneurial mindset
For a couple of years, there has been a growing interest in entrepreneurship among university students in Finland. Helping students to think more entrepreneurially is a vital step not just to boost economic development, but the ability to generate thoughtful citizens with innovative ideas.
Building experiences beyonD CLASSES
Everything can’t be learned in classes. That’s why Vaasa Entrepreneurship Society organizes all different kinds of events for educating, networking and encouraging students becoming an entrepreneur — all the way from hackathons to keynote-speaker events and get-together breakfasts.
