Supporting entrepreneurialism in Helsinki

NewCo Helsinki is a City of Helsinki service that aims to help new businesses and startups succeed. We provide confidential business advisory services to lend a hand to entrepreneurs who are starting a new business and developing their operations. We also assist startups in their efforts to grow and expand to international markets.

Together with our partners and local communities, NewCo Helsinki works to foster the city’s entrepreneurial and startup culture. Among other things, we utilize this collaboration to support promising niche markets that can serve as platforms for new business.

We want Finland’s capital to be a great place to own and operate a profitable business; an ecosystem in which everything associated with running your business works smoothly. We actively promote Helsinki in many forums, in order to attract entrepreneurs and seed funding from around the world.
