Hanken Business Lab Excursions

On a regular basis, Hanken Business Lab arranges excursions to visit locations in order to learn about the differences in the global startup ecosystems.

START Summit, St Gallen 2023

In March 2023, it was time again for the annual visit to Switzerland. Once again, the delegation consisted of students, Hanken employees, investors, and alumni. We also had the pleasure of having two representatives from Vaasa and the conference provided excellent opportunities for future projects in both locations.

START Summit, St Gallen 2022

The fourth visit to St. Gallen happened in 2022. Again, Hanken sent a delegation of students, investors and Hanken employees to visit St Gallen in order to further develop the relationship with our central European colleagues.
