Entrepreneur! How can we serve you better?
We want to make Joensuu an even more business-friendly city, where your company has excellent conditions to operate, develop and grow. The Business Whisperers will once again reach out to Joensuu-based companies this autumn to discuss updates and available services for companies. At the same time, they will convey messages and wishes from companies to the city for further action.
The Business Whisperers will be available again in the autumn of 2024 to assist companies with questions related to business growth and development, human resources, the business environment, entrepreneur well-being, training matters, or business acquisition planning. They are also interested in general feedback related to entrepreneurship in Joensuu, which they will communicate to the city's decision-makers. Feedback from businesses is crucial, as it often leads to initiatives for developing economic services.
Starting in week 35, the campaign aims to provide seamless and free assistance to local businesses in various stages of their business operations.
The Business Whisperers campaign in autumn 2024 will be organized in three parts:
- Week 35: Eno, Pyhäselkä, Kiihtelysvaara, and Tuupovaara
- Week 40: Joensuu city center, industrial area and the Science Park vicinity (postal codes 80100 and 80110)
- Week 45: Other areas of Joensuu
Feel free to contact the Business Whisperers if your company needs:
- Skilled workforce
- Training for your staff
- Functioning workspaces
- Help with planning investments and surveying public funding options
- Growth coaching
- A generational shift or a successor for your business operations
