Lahti Venture Program is a ten-week program in which multidisciplinary student teams develop solutions for business challenges presented by companies operating in the Lahti region.

Over the course of the program, the students receive sparring from local company representatives and entrepreneurship experts. The program familiarizes students with different aspects of business operations: forming a business idea, charting customer needs and commercializing ideas. This is a great opportunity to create contacts and build networks with top companies in the region, develop business know-how and get tools for future working life.

LVP culminates in the Best Business Concept competition where teams present their work to other participants and judges. Best team of every challenge is awarded and each member of the overall winning team will be awarded a monetary prize.

The program is worth 6 credits and it is carried out in English. It is designed for students from LUT University and LAB University of Applied Sciences. 

Lahti Venture Program is organized in co-operation between LUT University, LAB University of Applied Sciences, Lahti Region Development LADEC Ltd, Future Talents program, and Lahti University Consortium.
