Take a break from your afternoon and come get inspired by stories of success and failure in the world of entrepreneurship!

As we all know (atleast after reading the link at the bottom of the page), young companies create most of the new jobs. New jobs=growing economy=better quality of life! What better incentive to come learn how you can help make it happen?

Aaltoes invites you to join us and listen in on an interesting early afternoon panel discussion about growth entrepreneurship. The panel, aimed primarily at students, will focus on themes revolving around how and why growth entrepreneurship is and should be done. We're super-psyched to have confirmed the following panelists:

- Risto Siilasmaa, Founder and Chairman of the Board, F-Secure
- Marko Parkkinen, Serial Entrepreneur, Member of the Board at Fruugo, ex-CEO at BOB Helsinki
- Joonas Hjelt, current student at ASE, Founder and CEO at Hipui
- Jussi Rosendahl, journalist/columnist, Kauppalehti

We're absolutely delighted to have Christina Forsgård of Netprofile hosting the panel and leading the discussion with our panelists, and also a Q&A session at the end.

The event will be held at 1PM on Wednesday, April 14th, 2010 in the main hall (juhlasali) of the Aalto School of Economics. After the panel we will serve light refreshments and provide plenty of time for networking and discussion afterwards.

Aaltoes is psyched to have had the support of the Hanken and Helsinki University Entrepreneurship Societies in setting up the panel.
