Connecting academic knowledge and entrepreneurial practice

Torkel Tallqvist connects the questions of a researcher with the experience of a business leader. His career spans brand management, yacht building and investment, with roles at Hartwall, Coca–Cola, Inkerman, Nautor and Hartwall Capital.

As Professor of Practice at Hanken School of Economics, he draws on his business experience to teach Corporate Entrepreneurship in Practice. Through Artefaktum, he helps organisations boost corporate entrepreneurship. He holds a doctorate from Åbo Akademi University and founded the Corporate Entrepreneurship Awards to bring attention to entrepreneurial initiatives within Finnish companies—and what others can learn from them.

Different industries, a continuing question: how can organisations create the conditions for something new? To discuss shared questions, interests or possibilities for collaboration, connect with Torkel.
