Business Whisperers – supporting your company’s growth in Joensuu

Joensuu aims to be Finland’s easiest and most business-friendly city – a community where entrepreneurs can quickly access support and solutions, and where companies can easily operate, develop, and succeed. Supporting this goal are Business Joensuu’s Business Whisperers, who stand alongside entrepreneurs – checking in, listening to their needs, and offering expert sparring and coaching for business development.

The Business Whisperers reach out to companies in Joensuu to discuss everyday entrepreneurship, development needs, and the business services available. At the same time, they carry entrepreneurs’ insights and messages forward to city decision-makers – feedback that is valuable, as it often leads to concrete improvements in economic development services.

The Business Whisperers provide free and confidential sparring on topics such as growth, human resources, business environment, entrepreneur well-being, public procurement, and succession planning.
