Joensuu has been growing steadily: 30% of the inhabitants are aged under 25 and during the next two years around 2,000 new apartments will be built. Every year the city attracts thousands of young entrants to study in the University of Eastern Finland and the Karelia University of Applied Sciences.

The result is a dynamic job market of highly skilled young people, and an attractive environment for start-up-minded entrepreneurs. An increasing number of students and experts coming from abroad contribute to an international atmosphere.
