Winners in HS Competition

Wednesday, January 9, 2008

Idean was among top 10 Future Growth Companies 2008 voted by investors and industry experts. The jury chose Beneq for the winner.

Beneq is a nanotechnology driven company with a strong IPR portfolio offering industrialised equipment and technology for functional coatings.

Risto Lähdesmäki and Mikko-Pekka Hanski from Idean concentrated in their presentation instead of numbers and other facts on launching the dream of helping African women and children to read. Please read more.

This was a good choice; both Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Nokia CEO and Communications Consultant Christina Forsgård mentioned Idean in their comments.

The competition was arranged by Helsingin Sanomat (HS), the largest Finnish daily newspaper. Idean was also mentioned in HS today’s paper. More information about the final (in Finnish).
