Group of corporate leaders and startups will started their common learning journey in Helsinki this week. They join the Community of 460 corporate leaders and 110 startup teams.

In the EEX Journey program, key leaders from large companies challenge themselves as advisors to another industry startup. The executives learn from the real case of the sustainability-driven startup and from their advisory board peers – from different large companies, across industries.
