Keynote speakers in 2017 were Peter Vesterbacka and Pasi Sahlberg. 

 

The first StartUp Week was organised in December 2017 and it gathered participants from South Africa, Germany and Bolivia to gain insight into entrepreneurial way of teaching and learning. During the week, Haaga-Helia signed a MoU with Tshwane University of Technology and EduExcellence signed a MoU with Universidad de la Cordillera. Both universities are very keen on building their own StartUp Schools so we can really say that our first StartUp Week was a success!
