Creating tangible networks can be facilitated at <a>LAB University of Applied Sciences between <\/a>business and student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hackathon events attract the most eager students with the courage to showcase their knowledge and interest, allowing for quality insight into the interests and motivation of the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a clear benefit for international students, to introduce themselves to local business, making networking opportunities happen. As well, It is possible for international businesses to network with local Finnish students, providing an international business network in Lappeenranta and the South Karelia region. Getting to know LAB students can also provide fresh ideas and new perspectives for businesses while showcasing the potential in South Karelia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An example of practical collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday, 14<sup>th<\/sup> November, LABeko2 \u2012 network, develop, internationalise, succeed (LAB 2023) collaborated with PikaPay, in a pilot hackathon event. The goal was to build a network between participating students and PikaPay \u2012 &nbsp;a young start-up company, founded by three students at LAB University of Applied Sciences, their vision, to make self-service available everywhere (PikaPay 2023) using their innovative self-service mobile app \u2012 by providing students the opportunity to show their talent in problem solving, innovating and presenting their ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students were presented two tasks provided by PikaPay and had two hours to innovate in a relaxing, collaborative environment. The students showcased their skills in either marketing or sales, and the event ran for 5 hours in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participants were introduced to the PikaPay founders. During the event, students had the opportunity to approach the founders and ask for advice or opinions throughout the innovation process, while getting to know each other in a relaxed environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/807_2023_Building-practical-networks-between-students-and-business-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/807_2023_Building-practical-networks-between-students-and-business-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/807_2023_Building-practical-networks-between-students-and-business-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/807_2023_Building-practical-networks-between-students-and-business-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/807_2023_Building-practical-networks-between-students-and-business-570x376.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/11\/807_2023_Building-practical-networks-between-students-and-business.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image 1.
