Helsinki Think Company is the entrepreneurship society of the University of Helsinki. It is a place for coworking. The concept is pretty simple: bring in your own laptop, pick a seat and start working. The space has all the basic stuff needed at an office: wifi, coffee, whiteboards and flipcharts, markers, post-its and so on. You can use it solo or bring in a team. Helsinki Think Company expands to the medicinary world when it opens its third co-working space in Biomedicum 1:s Basar in February!
