ÅRSBERÄTTELSE 2012

OVERVIEW

2012 was an exciting year for Hankenes. We have delivered on the

goals we set up at the beginning of the year and have created the

largest number of events so far, increased our visibility among

students and grown the ecosystem of entrepreneurs at Hanken.

We have arranged over 20 events and our largest seminar so

far, Banking 2.0, was a great success.

Our long term vision is to develop an ecosystem at Hanken that will

enable Hanken students to found competitive startups and make

Hanken the most entrepreneurial school in Finland. During 2012 we

have sought to further our vision by events targeted to our students, by

doing excursions and study trips and to increase the level of

cooperation with other universities and organisations who share our

vision for a more entrepreneurial Finland.

It was great to see that several of our members developed their own

ideas, started their own companies and started working for other

startups. Two teams from Hanken also participated in the startup

accelerator Summer of Startups.
