CODEUNITED (EIT HIGHER EDUCATION INITIATIVE)

CODEUNITED is a collaborative European initiative that brings together partners from diverse disciplines—business, design, and technology—at various stages of developing their university-driven entrepreneurial ecosystems. United by a shared mission to reimagine these ecosystems through education, CODEUNITED sees entrepreneurial learning as a key enabler to foster meaningful collaboration among ecosystem actors and to create new, practice-oriented pathways for students at all levels—bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral. By mapping existing activities, strengthening cross-campus partnerships, and co-developing educational offerings, the project aims to build a more inclusive, connected, and student-centered approach to entrepreneurship across universities.

JUNCTION X KATHMANDU

This December, we’re bringing Junction to Kathmandu — hosting one of the first Finnish-Nepalese hackathons that connects creators, thinkers, and doers from Nepal. Together, we’ll bridge cultures, industries, and ideas to solve real-world challenges and inspire the next wave of tech talent.

From Helsinki to the Himalayas — the future is being built together.
