1. Annual report 2013

2. OVERVIEW
The year 2013 confronted Hankenes with a big challenger. All the founding
members have stepped aside from their active positions in Hankenes and new
members were needed. Fortunately, through the create foundation laid by the
founders, the new board was easily summited.
This year, Hankenes has grown again through new events and new people. The
visibility of entrepreneurship has increased among students and the community
of persons interested in entrepreneurship has increased. This year, we arranged
more than 15 events, of which 3 events hosted more than 100 people. Our main
event, Banking 2.0, hosted approximately 200 attendees. Other highlight from
the year was our trip to Stockholm startup day, Hankenes pitching Competition
and Hanken Network day.
Our vision is to develop a community at Hanken that will enable Hanken students
to found competitive start-ups and make Hanken a fully integrated part of the
Finnish start-up ecosystem. During 2013, we have sought to further our vision by
events targeted to our students, by doing excursions and study trips and to
increase the level of cooperation with other universities and organisations who
share our vision for a more entrepreneurial Finland.
A side the events, Hankenes has worked hard with internal projects, such as
mapping the possibility for a physical location for entrepreneurship at Hanken.
Also, great effort has been made to effective the marketing of the society. A good
example of the results from these efforts is the highly successful Hankenes
blogg. Partly due to the blogg, Hankenes has been able to dubbel its follower on
facebook from 500 to a whooping 1000 persons.
