Innovation assessment

InnoSprint and Haaga-Helia invite your company to participate in a free innovation assessment. Together, we will identify key development areas in your business and generate concrete ideas and solutions from perspectives such as customer insight, service design, sustainability, and digital solutions. The assessment does not commit you to anything, but it offers valuable external insight and can serve as a solid starting point for further development or collaboration. 

You can join by completing our registration form.  The free assessment takes approximately one hour and can be conducted either remotely or on-site. Please note that the number of participating companies is limited and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
