Kielo joins the Kasvu Open partner network to support Finnish growth companies
Kielo has joined the Kasvu Open partner network for 2026. Kasvu Open is Finland’s largest sparring programme for SMEs, providing companies with free, high‑quality support to accelerate growth and develop their business. Each year, hundreds of companies from across Finland participate in the programme.
At the core of Kasvu Open is a mission to help Finnish SMEs grow, regardless of their size or industry. Its extensive network of experts and partners offers companies perspectives, know‑how and support throughout different stages of growth.
Why is Kielo involved?
Kielo brings hands‑on expertise in how the right kind of workspace can support a company’s growth. For many scaling businesses, suitable premises are a key success factor — and this is where Kielo can make a real difference.
With over 90 properties in more than 30 locations, Kielo offers companies the opportunity to find great places for work: a functional, wellbeing-supportive and scalable environment — from offices and retail spaces to warehouse and production facilities.
Companies benefit especially from:
- local, easily accessible support
- a wide and modular range of premises
- flexibility that allows spaces to grow with the business
Kasvu Open’s Inka Hyvönen highlights the importance of the partnership:
“Kielo brings extensive local expertise and a deep understanding of how the right premises support both growth and wellbeing. Their nationwide network aligns perfectly with Kasvu Open’s mission.”
“We are delighted to welcome Kielo to our partner network! They bring extensive local expertise and a deep understanding of how crucial the right kind of premises are for a company’s growth and for employee wellbeing. Kielo’s nationwide network aligns perfectly with Kasvu Open’s mission,” says Inka Hyvönen from Kasvu Open.
Collaboration that supports entrepreneurship nationwide
The partnership brings together two organisations with a shared goal: making growth easier, more sustainable and more accessible to companies across Finland.
Through Kasvu Open, Kielo meets companies early in their journey — at a stage where workspace needs are evolving and decisions can have a major impact. This might enable companies to make timely decisions that support growth and prevent space-related challenges from slowing development.
“Being close to our customers and supporting them early in their growth journey is important to us. The right kind of workspace is essential for day‑to‑day operations and long‑term success — and we want to ensure that growth never stalls due to space constraints,” summarises Kielo’s CEO Hanna Forsman.
