You’ll have access to Business Joensuu’s experts, business services and networks. We also bring your company’s views and feedback to decision-makers in the City of Joensuu.

Haven’t we met yet? Let’s change that.

If you’re not yet familiar with Business Joensuu, a Business Whisperer is an easy way to get to know us. You can call, send us a message or invite a Business Whisperer to visit you – whatever works best for you.

And if you already know us, don’t hesitate to get in touch again. Businesses change, and so do their needs and plans. We’re here for you along the way.

You don’t need to know our services or have a clear idea of what kind of support you might need. We want to get to know you and your business.

Tell us how your business is doing. What’s working? What’s on your mind? What would you like to do, develop or renew next?

We listen, ask questions and offer confidential sparring. If there’s something we can help with, we’ll open doors to Business Joensuu’s free business services, experts and networks, and work with you to identify the next steps.

What can you talk about with a Business Whisperer?

Anything that’s on your mind as an entrepreneur or currently relevant to your business.

We can talk about, for example:

  • your business direction, growth and profitability
  • investments and financing
  • recruitment, talent and employer image
  • leadership and staff development
  • digital visibility and AI
  • networks and partnerships
  • participating in public procurement tenders
  • business ownership changes and finding a successor 
  • your own wellbeing as an entrepreneur.

Or something completely different.

A Business Whisperer is here to help you clarify the right direction and next steps for your business.

    We’ll be contacting businesses in Joensuu particularly in these sectors.
