CEO, WheelQ

WheelQ has been selected for Business Finland’s Young Innovative Company (YIC) funding program. We are very happy and excited about this recognition and Business Finland’s trust in our operations and growth potential!

YIC funding is aimed at the most promising, rapidly growing Finnish startup companies with scalable business, looking to open up new international markets. Previous YIC funded companies include Supercell and Vainu.

 

WheelQ’s funding is aimed at supporting our expansion into the Swedish market, which we started in fall 2018. Our customers' experiences in Finland have proven that our product works and creates genuine added value. With positive experiences and rapid growth, we have started operations in Stockholm, where a WheelQ office has already been opened and first employees hired.

By expanding abroad, we will receive valuable information of clients’ needs in the international market, which helps us further develop our software and service. This will also benefit our Finnish clients in the future.

The YIC funding spans over a 3-year period and amounts to a maximum €1.25 million. More information on the funding is available on Business Finland’s website.
