AI & Startups: From research to real-world practices
TAMK, HUBS lobby | 30.9.2025 | 13-15
We at HUBS are organizing an event aimed at sharing researched knowledge, concrete tips, and practical experiences on how AI can help startups launch their operations faster. We warmly welcome anyone interested!
The schedule is as follows:
30.9.2025 AI & Startups @ HUBS, C1 Lobby in Tampere University of Applied Sciences campus
13:00 – 13:45 Why Startups Might Be AI’s Biggest Winners
Kai-Kristian Kemell, Head of GPT-Lab, University of Tampere
14:00 – 14:45 The Entrepreneur’s Journey: From Building an Agency to Rebuilding an Organization with AI
Juha Viherväs, Founder with a successful exit and currently AI lead at Fonecta
The event is a great fit if you are interested in entrepreneurship or in how AI can be applied in practice, and if you’d like to hear about the journey of an entrepreneur who made a successful exit – from Proakatemia to a company acquisition – and now oversees the adoption of AI in a large corporation.
Please register in advance so we can reserve enough seats and provide some refreshments for all participants!
Also mark your calendars for part two of AI & Startups series: 26.11. in Hervanta campus.
