The village includes 20 companies and was founded by GE Healthcare Finland’s managing director Didier Deltort and head of finance Mikko Kauppinen. ‘
Much like its U.S. incubator counterparts, the village includes office space for rent as well as centralized gathering places for the startups to swap ideas. Companies are also provided with opportunities for funding as they grow. “The reason we’ve set up the Innovation Village is to give start-ups an area where they are supported while they come up with the technological ideas that will revolutionize tomorrow’s healthcare,” said Mr. Deltort in a GE release.
