Aalto Startup Center is one of Finland's first business incubators. It has played an important role in the construction and development of the Finnish startup ecosystem. At the same time, it has helped create thousands of jobs and produce hundreds of millions of euros of tax revenue. Aalto Startup Center, which turns 25 this year, has played an important role in creating the Finnish startup scene and a positive entrepreneurial culture. When the business accelerator started operating in 1997, the culture of entrepreneurship was very different from what it is today.
