Tetiana Kulia
Our Founder
Hi! My name is Tetiana, and I want to share what became my "engine" for creating our Association. When I started my journey in Finland, I experienced firsthand that being an entrepreneur here is both an incredible opportunity and a huge challenge. That is why I decided to create a space where we can grow not "in spite of," but "thanks to" the strength of our community. Here is why this is important to me and, I am sure, to each of you: 🌿 We are no longer alone My main motivation was to create "our own" circle where you can always find support. Here we are not competitors; we are partners ready to lend a helping hand when difficulties arise. 📢 A voice that is respected Alone we might not be noticed, but as an Association, we become a significant force. I want our voice to sound confident in municipalities and government institutions. Together we can protect our interests and create conditions in which our business will thrive. 🇫🇮 At home among our own in Finland We created this Association to become a guide for you. We share experience, mentorship, and knowledge so that each of you can adapt faster and become "one of the locals" in this market, avoiding unnecessary mistakes. This Association is like a home for your courage and ideas. I believe that together we will build in Finland not just a business, but a real success story. Join us — let's grow together!
Hanna Babas
Our Founder
I know how the state system works, and at the same time, I understand how Ukrainian entrepreneurs think. I firmly believe that Ukrainian entrepreneurs do not need to break themselves when changing their country of residence. We have a powerful foundation of Ukrainian identity — our history, innate resourcefulness, and flexibility. That is why, without abandoning our own experience, we can refine our skills and build in Finland not just a new 'Finnish' business, but a Ukrainian business — with its strength, determination, and ability to find solutions where others don't see them. I am convinced that the combination of Ukrainian indomitability and Finnish 'sisu' is the formula for success in Finland.

Joint success is a big success
Our reputation is our capital
We believe that development begins with inspiration and mutual support. That is why our portal is not just a resource, but a community of people who strive to move forward, create something new and share their achievements. Together, we can take on large orders and tenders that are beyond the reach of an individual small business. The principle of “supporting our own” is more than just words—it is a real opportunity to develop our projects through internal partnerships and mutual support. In Finland, trust is built over years. Our goal was to create an organization where membership serves as a mark of quality for your clients. Being part of the Association automatically boosts your standing in the eyes of Finnish partners and banks.
