SILTA

About SILTA

Finland is a great place to build companies. Communities organized around different tech niches, the exceptionally active startup ecosystem, and the strong give-back mentality have worked as the backbone for the Finnish entrepreneurship scene, and as the driver for our once-local companies to succeed at a global level. In the majority of these cases, however, visiting the global innovation hotspots has played a crucial role. Seeing how business is concretely scaled to a global level, taking a deep dive into the latest trends, and meeting some of the brightest minds in the world, have brought up the necessary ideas and spark to generate some of the most remarkable entrepreneurial success stories from Finland. This is why we created the SILTA program. It takes top founders from Finland to the SF Bay Area to validate, build, and scale the companies. We want to transform the humble Finnish attitude atmosphere. We promote internationally ambitious ideas. We aim for companies to become global from day one. The Program takes early-stage founders from Finland to the San Francisco Bay Area to build their companies, enabling them to immerse themselves in the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the SF Bay Area. The program is organized twice a year, in the spring and fall.
