In October, The Switch was one of the companies to participate in Hanken Helsinki’s AIM2Flourish, a global student-led discovery of business for good program.
Teemu Heikkilä, Product Line Director, Power Electronics, at The Switch, was one of the business leaders chosen by a group of Hanken students to explain about what The Switch does and why it matters to the world. This business success story was one that they felt deserved recognition as part of their AIM2Flourish assignment, as it meets the criteria for sustainable innovation. The student group took second place in the competition.
AIM2Flourish is a platform supported by the UN, Global Compact and PRME. It shares stories about sustainable and profitable business innovations discovered and written by business students. The aim of the program is to be a catalyst for positive business change and to celebrate the best stories with Flourish prizes.
