01
Talents and Startups event
With the Talents and Startups event co-organized with the City of Helsinki, our goal was to create an event that could offer job opportunities and expand people’s networks in Finland.
How often on a slushy Monday morning do you get to see 170 people in a beautiful location, smiling at each other, and getting ready to mingle? Yep exactly! On the 30th of October, in the Helsinki City hall, the vibes were just like that.
02
Herizon x Tech Nordic Advocates event at Solita’s office
We co-organized an event together with Tech Nordic Advocates at Solita’s office at the end of June and we had a full house of inspirational professionals.
The idea for the event was to connect growth hackers with start up founders from TNA's Helsinki Female Tech Founder Frontrunner program. HFTFF is an international mentoring program that helps women launch new and grow existing businesses in the technology space.
03
International Talent Survey Finland
Our survey was crafted to gain valuable insights and identify avenues for growth within the international community of Finland and how we can support their journey in Finland better.
Understanding demographic nuances, educational backgrounds, employment statuses, thoughts about the government's new immigration policies, and the challenges encountered when seeking employment in Finland allows us to develop tailored solutions for our international talent network.

Growth Hacking Internship arrives at Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences
We started with a successful side hustle of our founder and venture capitalist Mari who piloted a growth hacking internship at Icebreaker.vc 4 years ago. Training 100 international talents in growth hacking, 94% of them landed full-time jobs immediately. Encouraged by this, we formed a non-profit, raised funds, and built a team to expand our efforts.
We're kicking off this internship as a 15-credit practical training course Haaga-Helia. This program is a great fit for students studying business or IT near graduation.
