Tervetuloa Helsinkiin!

North-by-Northeast is the new trending locale. Summer 2012, Startup Life Helsinki internship program offers exciting, challenging work placements in rising star Helsinki startups – for both Aalto University students and international students eager to explore the Northern startup scene. You will work 3 months from June to August and learn to implement faster than ever.

Experience the startup scene. Although you will work in only one startup, you’ll get to experience the whole startup scene as well. Each intern will host one session in the startup they are working at.

Build a global network. During the summer Startup Life will also invite you to a lot of activities and weekend trips, so you will get to know all the interns and other entrepreneurial minded people.

You don’t face the problems alone, we are here to help. We know the city of Helsinki by heart. We’ll also help you out with housing and other practicalities.
