Lo🚨BREAKING🚨 Turku re-launched its startup scene The event was packed like a full-stack dev’s calendar (😛 sorry not sorry) —entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem nerds all showed up to hear what’s next. The announcements ? • The idea to move forward with a new hub space (yes, a physical HQ—think Maria 01, but make it Åbo) • More funding pathways (show us the money) • Smarter startup (like DevOps, but for founders) • A promise to build real community (not just Slack, Whatsapp, Telegram or Signal ugroups) The message from the City of Turku? They’re not launching startups—but they’re definitely upgrading the environment for those who are. This was just version 1.0. So yeah, stay tuned. Turku might just become your favorite underdog ecosystem.
