Enheten för entreprenörskap erbjuder en unik och handlingskraftig studiemiljö för magisterstuderande och ett högklassigt forskningsprogram som bidrar till utveckling på både vetenskapligt och politiskt plan.
Vår forskning kan brett karaktäriseras som ansträngningen att förstå komplexiteten av entreprenörskap som ett mångfacetterat socioekonomiskt fenomen. Mycket av vår forskning är praktiskt betingad med relevans för den allmänna debatten.
Några av våra pågående forskningsprojekt innefattar:
- företagsamhet och befolkningens åldrande
- psykologiska processer under entreprenöriella handlingar
- regionala och institutionella inbäddningar av företagsamhet
- sociala och hållbara företagssatsningar
- förtroende i små företags finansiella förhållanden
Social Impact and Outreach
Some of our research serves the sole purpose of advancing entrepreneurship theory. But much of what we do bears significant policy relevance. For this reason we continue to be active in the policy community, advising policy makers within and beyond the Finnish borders. We have completed consultancy assignments for example for ministries in Finland and Germany as well as the EU and the OECD.

Research projects
Senior Talent
Senior Talent is an Erasmus+ project focused on supporting individuals aged 55+ who are nearing or have entered retirement. With Europe’s population ageing and the workforce evolving, the project helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) build more age-inclusive, sustainable workplaces. It offers practical tools, expert-led training, and personalised HR support to ensure senior employees remain active, engaged, and valued contributors to the modern workforce.
The project is led by Room466 (Austria) and brings together five partners from four countries: Aalto University School of Business (Finland), which leads the research efforts; Latvian Adult Education Association (Latvia); Hanse-Parlament (Germany); and the Regional Management Office Murau Murtal GmbH (Austria). This cross-border collaboration brings together regional expertise and policy insight to deliver meaningful outcomes for individuals and organisations alike.
