Varsinais-Suomen Yrittäjä –lehti

30 Years of Entrepreneur Stories
The Varsinais-Suomen Yrittäjä newspaper of the Federation of Finnish Enterprises in Southwest Finland first appeared in 1987 under the name “Yritysidea” (“business idea”). Now, 30 years later, we are distributing the printed version of the paper addressed to all business establishments in the region. The printed newspaper has 80,000 readers. The newspaper’s website also has over 90,000 visitors a month. We send out a newsletter a few times a week to 26,000 email addresses.

Although the world is changing and we are developing our entrepreneur media along with it, content which is of interest to the readers is the basis upon which the newspaper is created. Right from the beginning, it has been the goal of the newspaper to convey information which is useful to entrepreneurs and businesses. Articles written by the experts and interviews with them continue to be the most read content of the paper.

We act as a lobbyist, raising important issues if necessary. We don’t complain about problems, we offer the enterprise organisation’s suggestions as solutions to them.

The most important content, however, are the inspiring entrepreneurial stories which tell of the entrepreneur’s daily life, new challenges and successes. When a business opens its doors, you never know what kind of story awaits our editor and readers.
