I am delighted to announce that Nexpert will participate as a partner in the Lahti Venture Program (LVP) during autumn 2025. The LVP is a renowned two-month initiative where multidisciplinary student teams tackle real business challenges presented by companies operating in the Lahti region. This year, Nexpert will introduce its own business case, supporting innovative students in developing fresh solutions for industry needs.
The Lahti Venture Program brings together talented students from LAB University of Applied Sciences, LUT University, the University of Helsinki, and other universities. Across two months, students collaborate with local company representatives and entrepreneurship experts, gaining valuable experience in forming business ideas, understanding customer needs, and commercializing solutions. The program provides a unique platform to make connections with top companies, strengthen business know-how, and acquire essential skills for the future.
LVP culminates in the Best Business Concept competition, where teams pitch their innovative solutions to judges and participants. Winners are recognized, and the overall top team receives a monetary award. The entire program is conducted in English, granting 5 ECTS credits upon completion and is open to all university students.
Nexpert is proud to support Finland’s next generation of business thinkers by contributing a real-world challenge to the program and offering mentoring throughout the course. We look forward to witnessing creative new ideas and forging connections with talented future professionals.
If you are a student interested in gaining practical experience, building your network, and working with companies like Nexpert, don’t miss your chance to apply for the Lahti Venture Program. The application period for 2025 begins in May.
We look forward to an inspiring autumn of innovation and collaboration!
