Which are the most innovative companies according to Finnish consumers? 17.6
Hanken is launching the Finnish Innovation Index (FII) that measures Finnish consumers' perception of how innovative industries and companies are. It is a systematic national customer-based ranking on the most innovative business-to-consumer companies in Finland, evaluated by consumers.
”FII is a new way to measure companies’ innovativeness externally through the consumers’ perception, instead of measuring it internally in the organization with various methods”, says Kristina Heinonen, Professor of Marketing, who has developed the Finnish Innovation Index at Hanken.
Join the event and listen to the ranking of the most innovative companies on the Finnish market. In addition, we are happy to announce industry leaders, such as F-Secure, Verkkokauppa.com, Fazer and Fiskars, who will share their views on the reasons behind their success of perceived innovativeness.
Sign up here (by 15 June)
Hankens students and staff can join the event also without registration. More information here.
