StartUp Lapland Studies

The StartUp Lapland studies consist of five self-study modules, making up a five-credit course, with each module worth one credit. Each module can be completed as an independent unit, and you can choose the order in which you wish to complete them. Each module includes lessons and assignments, and you’ll receive a certificate for each successfully completed module. Only modules 1-2 are translated into English.

Throughout the studies, you’ll gain insights into the opportunities and challenges of business in Lapland through real-life case examples from local entrepreneurs. You’ll meet several Lapland entrepreneurs, including the founders of Kaamos Coffee Roastery and Flatlight Creative House, who share their journeys and offer advice on entrepreneurship through videos.

As you progress through the modules and assignments, you’ll work on completing your personalized Entrepreneurial Plan. This plan, an interactive PDF workbook, is developed step-by-step throughout the StartUp Lapland study modules. It compiles the initial steps of your entrepreneurial journey into one document. You can download the Entrepreneurial Plan workbook from the StartUp Lapland website: https://yrittajaksilappiin.fi/courses/yrittajasuunnitelma/.
