Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Espoo

Espoo, next to Helsinki, is Finland's second-largest city and the heart of its technology and research economy, home to Nokia's headquarters and Aalto University. For founders in deep technology, quantum computing and telecommunications, it offers world-class research and experienced engineers.

Why Espoo Matters for Capital Raising

Nokia is headquartered in Espoo, and the city's Otaniemi campus combines Aalto University, the VTT Technical Research Centre and many technology companies in one district.

Aalto University, formed in 2010, is a major source of startups, and its entrepreneurship community helped create the Slush startup event.

Espoo is a leading centre for quantum computing, with companies such as IQM, founded in 2018, building quantum computers in the city.
