Takeoff Partners will have a leading role in organizing Boardman's upcoming Growth Board seminar in Helsinki on November 23, 2015. The seminar focuses on sharing best practises in internationalizing businesses. Speakers and roundtable facilitators represent companies such as Reima, GreenStream Network, Booxmedia, M-Brain, Basemark, Digitalist Network, HappyOrNot, and many more. 

Boardman's Growth Board 2015 brings together entrepreneurs and business leaders interested in international growth, to share their experiences and thoughts on internationalization. Instead of theorizing, the conference will focus on sharing practical experiences. It will provide concrete examples that spring from the experience of the roundtable facilitators and the participants themselves. Plenty of time has also been set aside for networking.

Takeoff Partners' Managing partner Markko Vaarnas is responsible for the theme 'Internationalization' at the board of Boardman2020 and is the chief architect of the Growth Board program. "It was remarkably easy to put this program together, as these entrepreneurs and facilitators immediately saw the value of this kind of exchange of thoughts and best practices. We are really looking forward to a great event!" Vaarnas says.
