We are three active owners with entrepreneurial backgrounds. Our work careers have consisted of creating and growing successful companies. We use our knowledge and expertise at JATKAJA to ensure continuity and to create a growth oriented future for the companies of aging entrepreneurs.
We want to actualize an entrepreneurial Finland with our work, where self-initiative, perseverance and a good work ethic is valued. We want to defend companies created by previous entrepreneurial generation, not only to ensure their continuity but also to grow and internationalize them. We believe people are happiest when they are able to define their own paths: entrepreneurship is an excellent opportunity for this.
