Community
Located is a small former mining town with a big heart—and plenty of room to think. Surrounded by forests and lakes, it’s an exceptionally peaceful place to focus, reset, and build.
Close to everything, far from the noise.
Joensuu is just about 30 minutes away, giving you easy access to a university city’s services: airport, car rentals, culture, healthcare, shopping, and direct train links to Helsinki. You get the calm of the city, with the convenience of a regional hub right next door.
Dark skies, bright nights.
Thanks to low light pollution just outside town, it’s possible to see the Northern Lights when conditions are right—clear skies and active space weather turn the countryside into a natural planetarium.
A community of doers.
We’re a hands-on group of startup builders and developers who’ve chosen us for its focus and affordability. Expect practical people, quick collaboration, and a get-things-done culture shaped by the town’s industrial roots.
Nature on your doorstep.
Weekends (or work breaks) can be as active as you like: hiking along quiet forest trails, boating on nearby lakes, swimming spots in summer, cross-country tracks in winter, foraging, fishing, and plenty of fresh air.
Why it works.
Our small town pairs deep focus and community support with the services of Joensuu close by. It’s a place where you can work hard, live simply, and still have adventure right outside your door.
