HAMK Entrepreneurship Society empowers students to explore entrepreneurship, build meaningful connections, and develop ideas through a supportive and inspiring community.
History
Founded in 2025 by a group of motivated HAMK students, HAMK Entrepreneurship Society was created to strengthen the entrepreneurial culture within the university community. What started as a shared vision to connect like-minded students quickly grew into an active network focused on innovation, collaboration, and personal growth.
During the academic year 2025–2026, the society organized its first events, workshops, and networking opportunities, bringing together students, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals. Today, the society continues to inspire students to explore entrepreneurship, develop new ideas, and build meaningful connections that extend beyond their studies.
