WHO ARE WE
We promote entrepreneurial mindset, community and culture in Oulu.
We encourage, educate and connect individuals through entrepreneurship. We want to help individuals to develop themselves, take ideas from dreams into creation and to build and expand their networks. Being an entrepreneur is so much more than owning and running a business and OuluES strives to help our members uncover and navigate their path towards entrepreneurship. We are a student organization that aims to inspire and help people think with an entrepreneurial mindset.

To join our events and activities, you do not need to have a business ID nor desire to found your company in the next two weeks.
