We believe that the award will stimulate companies to collaborate and invest in startup functions even more.

The startup cooperation between the corporation and the startups could be e.g. R&D collaboration, product development, innovation cooperation, piloting innovative methods and projects, providing new kinds of services, or perhaps something else that is new and unique.

- You have strong or strongly developing startup functions in your company in Finland, or with Finnish startups, and a mindset of changing the world.
