Growth takes more than a great idea

Building a growth company requires the right decisions, expert guidance, and an environment that helps you move forward faster.

Yritystehdas is Jyväskylä's start-up incubator for growth-oriented companies and business ideas with high growth potential. We don’t build your business for you — we help you gain insights, grow, and develop as an entrepreneur.

You’ll gain access to experienced coaches, extensive networks, practical tools, and a supportive community that will help take your business to the next level.

The higher your ambitions, the more valuable the right guidance becomes.

An Incubator for Ambitious Teams

The right support at the right time can change everything.

The incubator helps growth-oriented start-up teams build sustainable growth with the support of experienced entrepreneurial coaches. You'll be surrounded by a network, guidance, and practical tools that help take your idea to the next level.

Entrepreneur-driven coaching

You'll get guidance from experienced entrepreneurs and experts who also understand the daily life of growth companies in practice.

We don't take equity

Yritystehdas does not take an ownership stake in your company. You build your business and growth on your own terms.

Networks and opportunities

You will meet investors, partners and other fellow founder teams who can help accelerate your growth.

Support for growth and Funding

Get practical guidance on business development, sales, international expansion, and building your funding strategy.

A community that goes with you

You don’t have to face the challenges of entrepreneurship alone. You'll be surrounded by coaches and fellow founders who are all working to build and scale their businesses.

Do you want to build more than a growing business — and disrupt the market?

The incubator is a two-year business-specific coaching programme designed specifically for startups. Our experienced coaches challenge the team to focus on what matters most, providing guidance not only in business development but also in entrepreneurial leadership and team performance.

The incubator offers modern office facilities in Jyväskylä and opens doors to valuable business networks, investors, and growth opportunities.

The incubator is aimed at teams and entrepreneurs who have:

A growth-oriented mindset
A business idea with high growth potential
A desire to develop business in the long term
The motivation to build something bigger

The Incubator as a launchpad for growth

"A perfect example of an early-stage growth story for a technology start-up"

BiopSense, a company originating from research conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, achieved remarkable growth during its two years in the Yritystehdas Incubator:

Secured €2.5 million in European Innovation Council (EIC) Transition funding for product development — the only recipient in Finland
Expanded its team from 2 employees to more than 10
Successfully crossed the “valley of death” and grew revenue exponentially to the million-euro level

"The expertise of the different coaches, the networks, other companies, events, and more informal activities provide support and opportunities in almost every area. On top of that, there is a fantastic atmosphere within the community. The concept is excellent and so comprehensive that it is difficult to think of many improvements."
