Why and how to innovate with impact?
At Epicenter we help key innovative hotspots to supercharge their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. Our local innovation houses in Helsinki, Stockholm, and Oslo, are platforms for change makers to accelerate their growth and innovate with impact. But what makes an innovation impactful? Is impact measured in money? In new job opportunities or in a greener future? Maybe it’s all.
