What is The Next Wave Finland?

We don't just organise an event. We build a community.

THE NEXT WAVE FINLAND ry is a non-profit association founded by three young entrepreneurs, and a nationwide community for ambitious young people aged 15–25.

Our goal is to bring together Finland's most ambitious young entrepreneurs and future makers with experienced entrepreneurs, investors and leaders from many fields.

We don't want to organise just a one-off event. We want to build a nationwide community that gives young people opportunities to grow, learn, network and open new doors to the future.
