The Saara and Björn Wahlroos foundation donates EUR 250 000 to Hanken

The Saara and Björn Wahlroos foundation donates EUR 250 000 to Hanken’s fundraising campaign HANKEN RETURNS. The foundation was established in 2002 to support and encourage research and debate on financial and social issues.

“Hanken is important for Finland. Thanks to its internalisation and ambitious academic targets it has become an increasingly important window to the outside world. In this rough financial climate Hanken will be even more dependent on external funding”, says Björn Wahlroos, chairman of the foundation.

The fundraising campaign HANKEN RETURNS will continue until 30.6.2017 and has, with this donation included, so far raised close to EUR 3,9 million. The aim of the campaign is to secure Hanken’s unique position as Finland’s only independent business school.
