Come and watch our startups sell!
As a part of the ‘Smart Business, Big Impact’ -initiative which aims to lower the threshold for startups within the built environment sector to sell their ideas to companies, Urban Tech Helsinki is teaming up with KIRAHub and KIRA Growth Program to bring a one-of-a-kind pitching event to life: the opportunity to sell directly to clients in the built environment industry!
Taking place as two distinctive pitching events, the first event will be held for Rakennusteollisuus RT, a union that represents major companies within the construction sector, while the second event will be held for Rakli, an association of professional property owners in Finland. Our portfolio of startups will be present, selling directly to potential clients at the Urban3 ecosystem space in Maria 01.

- 26.2.2025 @ 14.30-16.30, register here.
