Ecosystems, innovations and startups are a huge part of my work in the business development office of Seinäjoki. We work together to create a lively and fruitful business ecosystem for example in tech and food sectors.My days at Into Seinäjoki are filled with communications and coordinating project actions, events and content for our European funded innovation ecosystem and Food & Tech Startup projects.
