Exclusive Founder insights 🔥
Join us for a cozy fireside chat where our guest, Saber Kordestanchi, Chief Strategy Officer & Co-founder at Hostaway gives us a unique opportunity to learn about his entrepreneurial journey going from nothing to having built a successful company.
Saber started building Hostaway in 2015 and is reportedly the first person with an immigrant background to reach the top 11 on Finland's tax list.
Making Finland feel like home 🏡
Moving to Finland is one thing, but feeling at home is another. Why do so many internationals struggle with integration, and what can we do to fix it?
Join Marii Juht, Founder of Intero Integration, for a practical and eye-opening session on the biggest mistakes people make when trying to integrate and how building the right social circle can change everything. We will break down the key challenges, share real solutions, and give you actionable steps to make Finland feel like home.
