Herizon Community Newsletter 12/2025
Hey there Herizoner 💜
It feels like January was just yesterday yet here we are! In our last community newsletter of 2025 as the year is drawing to a close 🥹 What a time it's been!
Thank you for walking this year together with us!
It's been a year of great changes and we're still not done 💪 We will be kicking off 2026 with a new podcast, new content and inspiring visits in the local ecosystem cooking up in our kitchen 🔥

GET READY TO SISU & SLAY 🔥
You might've heard the word about town about an upcoming podcast by Herizon 👀
Whether you've been in the know or learning about it only now, we're so excited to invite you to become a part of the episode recordings!
Each recording session has room for max. 10-15 guests, so be quick about registering to the episodes that resonate with you.
The first four episode recording sessions are already up in the community event feed and linked at the bottom of the page. See you there!
Dive into Healthtech ecosystem 🩺
Join us at Terkko Health Hub for a morning visit, where we get to know the home of health and life science innovation in Helsinki and have a chance to take a peek behind the everyday of a Healthtech company through a panel conversation with a founder and employee or two companies based in Terkko Health Hub.
This is a fantastic opportunity for academics, technical, and commercial talent to dive into the local healthtech ecosystem.
Ask about and understand your legal rights ⚖️
Is a verbal employment agreement binding? What if you’re not sure about the terms of your contract?
In this online event, we have Mia Weckman, Director of Legal Affairs from Tradenomiliitto, answering your questions about employment matters and their legal implications as well as sharing knowledge about the fundamental regulations and rights of employees in Finland.

Real data on job market and hidden opportunities 📊
What’s up with the much-discussed hidden job market, and how do employment levels and trends really look through the data of Insinööriliitto (Union of Professional Engineers)? We’ll dive into this and answer questions related to trade unions, the support they offer for job search in this webinar.
You don’t have to be working as an engineer to join this event, so join freely regardless of your background!
