Hanken Entrepreneurship Society co-founder Markus Lampinen has received the prestigious Anders Wall scholarship. Markus is an active and versatile student who has many irons in the fire both as an entrepreneur and as a promoter of entrepreneurship”. This is how the jury of the Anders Wall Foundations characterised Markus, a 24-year-old student at Hanken, who was the recipient of this year’s Anders Wall award. Valued at SEK 125,000 (approximately EUR 13,000), the award is one of the largest scholarships awarded to students at the Hanken School of Economics.
Alongside his studies, Lampinen works as the Head of Operations of Grow VC international. Grow VC is a young company and a virtual community for entrepreneurs and investors. Lampinen is also one of the founders of Fresh Tunes Finland, a company that represents several artists and creates innovative solutions for the rapidly changing music market. He was also involved in the founding of the Hanken Entrepreneurship Society and has acted as the Finnish representative in the Sandbox Network, an international community for young, extraordinary achievers.
Lampinen plans to use his scholarship for finishing his diploma work on entrepreneurship and for participating in entrepreneurship conferences abroad.
The Anders Wall Foundations distribute approximately two million Swedish crowns in scholarships and educational grants every year. The scholarships will be awarded to entrepreneur-minded young people in the fields of research, entrepreneurship, international studies and culture on 11 March at the 30th anniversary ceremony at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in Stockholm, Sweden. The Anders Wall Foundations bring a significant number of young people together to form a network that meets regularly.
