FAQ’s
MetropoliaES is working in cooperation with an entrepreneurial course ‘StartUP Challenge’ developed by lecturers in Metropolia Myyrmäki. StartUp Challenge was run for the first time in 2011-2012. You can read about the new course and our cooperation below.
About the Course
The course is designed for entrepreneurial students who have an idea for starting a business or would like to be involved in starting a business. The plan is to guide students through the process of taking an idea from the concept stage through to launch stage with input from lectures, guest entrepreneurs/mentors and organisations that assist entrepreneurs.
Students will have the opportunity to pay a small fee and receive an official co-operative status with bank account and vat number, meaning that the team will be able to operate as a company and sell their products and services. The course is carried out in co-operation with Junior Achievement Young Enterprise Finland.
It is ideal if students try to form a group and apply to form a company together, however there is the possibility to meet like minded students that you can join with to form a business. The course is open to all students studying in Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
