The aim of the project is to create the conditions for growth in the small enterprises in Kokkola, thereby contributing to the creation of new jobs. The preconditions for growth are created by establishing a community of entrepreneurs in Kokkola, Kohtaamo, which serves not only as a common business space, but also as a learning platform for entrepreneurs. With Kohtaamo, entrepreneurs’ business know-how and cooperation with other entrepreneurs develops, which in turn increases the courage, skills, tools and willingness to start developing their own business.
