What is HMEA?
Helsinki Metropolitan Entrepreneurship Academy (HMEA) offers inspiring events and programs to students, entrepreneurs, actives and other entrepreneurial-minded people in the Helsinki Metropolitan area. HMEA is not about teaching, it’s about sharing experiences and inspire people to go out there and show what they’ve got. We have real entrepreneurs speaking about the corner stones of business, seasoned with their own experiences and stories of entrepreneurship. At first, HMEA’s events were made by students for students. Nowadays, we are pleased to see that our events have attracted a steadily growing group of entrepreneurs from various fields. HMEA’s events are an ideal environment for networking and sharing ideas, even for recruitment!
The programs are open and essentially free of charge for all.
