Working in close cooperation with the region’s municipalities and other development companies, Digipolis is in charge of the services. The core of our activities consists of business start-up, incubator and growth services.

The establishment and development of an enterprise is a demanding process that requires diverse knowledge and skills. Business start-up services may include financing and support application counselling, guidance or the implementation of enterprise establishment activities, initial business analysis and further counselling, guidance in the use of expert services, educational guidance for entrepreneurs and development discussions with entrepreneurs.

Ranging from the assessment of business ideas and assistance in the preparation of a business plan to the creation of customer and cooperation networks, productisation and commercialisation, business incubator and growth services cover the various building phases of a company. The business incubator provides new entrepreneurs with an uncomplicated and business-orientated environment and gives them an opportunity to learn, to share experiences and to network with other companies.

One of the purposes of the regional enterprise services is to help companies in the initial phase of development projects. At this stage, activities such as networking hold particular importance. Growth-orientated companies based on innovative business ideas have been in the forefront of utilising regional enterprise services.

Kemi-Tornion Alueyrityspalvelut provides companies with guidance for carrying out development activities in the form of projects, as well as counselling concerning available financing opportunities and the associated application processes. We also carry out initial surveys and find the right experts for you.
