Business Innovation Camp with Helen

tammi 12, 2018 | Ajankohtaista, YST - Uutiset

Students – your help is needed in engaging something new

Have you noticed that some old established companies have changed their strategy to explore new business fields beyond their core business?

For example, think OP group from banking and finance which is now going for hospital and car leasing markets. Helen (former Helsinki Energia) is interested to work with you if they could find new opportunities fitting their capabilities.

However, this Business Innovation Camp is not about power plants or megawats; you don’t have to have previous knowledge about energy industry or its business. Rather a willingness to explore the needs and behaviour of consumers is the most relevant asset you need.

Different disciplines wanted!
