We act as a forum for sharing research based knowledge and/or as a partner in generating new research data. Our focus is on research that is relevant to the decision-making of owners, the board and management.

We have chosen Finnish entrepreneurship research as one of our focus areas. Therefore, this year we are for the first time awarding the Entrepreneurship Research of the Year award to a deserving entrepreneurship research conducted at a Finnish university, university of applied sciences or research institute.

The € 3,000 award is funded by the Private Entrepreneurs Foundation (Yksityisyrittäjäin säätiö). In granting the Recognition Award, special emphasis is placed on the practical applicability of research results in business. More detailed information required to apply can be found in the application form.

The recipient of the Entrepreneurship Research of the Year award and the research will be announced on 3.10.2023 at an award ceremony in Helsinki.

In addition to Boardman LJT, Confederation of Finnish Industries EK, Finnish Entrepreneurs (Suomen Yrittäjät), Finnish Family Firm Association and the Central Chamber of Commerce will be presented at the award ceremony.

Naturally, we also hope to see a large number of entrepreneurship researchers and entrepreneurs joining the award ceremony for networking and discussing about the promotion of Finnish entrepreneurship research, and research and business cooperation.

The selection will be made on the basis of the applications received by the 30 June 2023 at 16.00.
