Profile picture of Oskar Korkman
Welcome to a breakfast seminar with Hanken's Professor of Practice Oskar Korkman. During the lecture Korkman will discuss the missing link between the high-level of innovation in Finnish companies, and the low level of growth evolving from that innovation. A light breakfast is served from 8 a.m., followed by the seminar from 8.30 to 9.30 a.m. The seminar will be held in English. Registration in advance is required.

Despite positioning highly in global innovation statistics, Finland faces a continued low level of innovations that turn to international commercial success.

In his lecture Korkman explores the reasons for this lack of growth. What are the capabilities that are bringing commercial success to innovation? Why are these market capabilities lacking in the Finnish ecosystem and how could companies potentially strengthen market-centric capabilities that are critical for scaling innovations internationally? 

More background information about the research behind this seminar can be read in this news article on Hankens website. 

Register by 13 march here.
