Overview
The Helsinki summer school aims to create a better understanding of why platforms are key in shaping economies and societies and how platforms create such societal and business impact. Participants will master the ability to differentiate between traditional businesses and platforms. They will acquire knowledge about key success factors and building blocks of multi-sided platforms that create networked markets, and why such platform business models have been so competitive in tech and non-tech industries alike. Moreover, participants will utilise concepts and models to create and assess platform business model entrants in cases provided by cities.
After successful completion of the Helsinki summer school, participants will be better equipped to become the digital changemakers that will shape both the firms they create or work for during their careers. We look forward to greeting and having an engaging and insightful experience for our Helsinki summer school participants.

Participants will be exposed to versatile social activities in e.g. adventure parks, startup ecosystems, and in Finnish nature environments offering numerous memorable experiences.
