They say numbers don’t lie, but let’s be real… they can be pretty boring (some of us are just not math people, okay?!) 🙂↔️  At Vantaa Talent Hack Day, we from Startup Refugees brought forward a challenge: How do we showcase impact beyond just stats and spreadsheets?  Four teams took it on and the talent in that room was unreaaaaaal. So many fresh, creative and mind-blowing ideas. It was like watching MasterChef of innovation, just with more snacks, computers and post-it notes. 🧑🍳✨  And then there was our winning team. 🥁 They didn’t even plan to compete but jumped in at the last minute, spending most of their time working with just pen and paper. Somehow, they still delivered a spontaneous, concrete, and deeply human way to show that impact is about people and their experiences, emotions, and stories. Not just numbers. Shoutout to Ammattiopisto Varia's International Tourism students: Atefa Rezayee, Angel Gill, dawda jaye & Ujjwal Timsina, who proved that sometimes all you need is perspective, social media and maybe a well-placed sticky note. 🫶  Huge thanks to Vantaan kaupunki - Vanda stad - City of Vantaa, Business Vantaa & Ultrahack for this fantastic collaboration and to all the incredible teams who absolutely crushed it. The future of storytelling and data? Yeah, it’s in very good hands. 😌 But now, we want to hear from you! If you had to showcase impact beyond just numbers, how would you do it? 😏

What a day at Vantaa Talent Hack Day! 🔥 As a Mentor with Startup Refugees I had the incredible chance to mentor some truly brilliant teams, hear fresh and innovative ideas, and be inspired by the energy in the room. 👏🏻 Bold pitches & creative problem-solving, the talent on display was NEXT LEVEL! ✨ Huge shoutout to all the participants for their hard work and to the organizers Ultrahack Vantaan kaupunki - Vanda stad - City of Vantaa & Business Vantaa for putting together such a fantastic event. ❤️ Must admit I had so much FUN! #communications #innovation #talent

🌟 Talent Hack Day 2025 - Kiitos kaikille osallistujille! 🌟 Viime torstai 6.3.2025 oli täynnä toimintaa ja innovaatioita Talent Hack Day 2025 -tapahtumassa. 🚀 Vantaa Startup Runwaylla kokoontui noin 40 lahjakasta kansainvälistä opiskelijaa ratkaisemaan haasteita, joita haasteiden omistajayritykset Vaisala, Paahtu ja Startup Refugees olivat asettaneet. Vain muutamassa tunnissa syntyi tuoreita ideoita ja näkökulmia, jotka johtivat vaikuttaviin lopputuloksiin. 💡 Innovatiivisten ratkaisujen kehittämisen lisäksi Talent Hack Day vahvisti kansainvälistä yhteisöä tarjoamalla ainutlaatuisen alustan kansainvälisille opiskelijoille, vastavalmistuneille ja ammattilaisille. Tapahtuma mahdollisti yhteistyön, verkostoitumisen ja monipuolisten taitojen esille tuomisen, auttaen osallistujia luomaan yhteyksiä ja kohtaamaan samanhenkisiä ihmisiä. Suuri kiitos haasteen omistajille—Vaisala, Paahtu ja Startup Refugees—sekä kaikille osallistujille ja Ultrahack yhteistyöstä. 🙌 Erityiskiitos Luca Zaitseville tapahtuman valokuvauksesta ja Ammattiopisto Varia matkailualan opiskelijoille, jotka eivät ainoastaan auttaneet tapahtuman järjestämisessä, vaan muodostivat myös viime hetken tiimin, joka voitti Startup Refugees -haasteen! 🎉 Ja tietysti iso kiitos upealle Business Vantaa -tiimille: Miikka Neuvonen, Laila Bröcker ja Jussi Shemeikka, korvaamattomasta tuesta. 🌟 Talent Hack Day 2025 - Thank you to all participants! 🌟 Last Thursday, March 6, 2025, was a whirlwind of action and innovation at Talent Hack Day 2025. 🚀 Around 40 talented international students gathered at Vantaa Startup Runway to tackle challenges set by our challenge owner companies Vaisala, Paahtu, and Startup Refugees.

Last week, I had the incredible chance to take part in Talent Hack Day 2025, an exciting #hackathon organized by Ultrahack, in collaboration with Vantaan kaupunki - Vanda stad - City of Vantaa and Business Vantaa. The event brought together international talents to tackle real-world challenges, collaborate in diverse teams, and connect with potential employers - all in just one day!🌟 I joined because I was particularly drawn to the challenges presented by companies like Vaisala, Startup Refugees, and Paahtu, who were actively participating in the event. I wanted to challenge myself by working on something exciting, and it was the perfect opportunity to meet new people and spend the day with a group of motivated and talented individuals.💫 I contributed to Paahtu’s case, where we focused on optimizing coffee waste collection routes. Our goal was to figure out an efficient way to collect 1,000 kg of used coffee grounds daily, making sure the process stayed fast, sustainable, and scalable, even with fluctuating supply levels. Contributing to a sustainable initiative like this was something I couldn't pass up as it fits perfectly with my passion for supply chain management and sustainability. It was so interesting to explore different logistics strategies, work through real-world constraints, and refine our ideas through discussions with Paahtu’s representatives. The teamwork was amazing, too - everyone brought fresh perspectives and creative solutions to the table, making the whole experience even more rewarding!🔥 🔹 Key Takeaways: ✨ Expanded my network and made valuable connections ✨ Boosted my confidence in problem-solving and creativity ✨ Learned just how powerful collaboration is in a high-energy environment Big thanks to the organizers, facilitators, and fellow participants for making this event such a success! The energy, support, and innovation were truly inspiring!❤ Looking forward to more hackathons in the future! 🚀
