Vision for Finland’s Growth

Our research is a call to action for creating a new national identity for Finland. An identity that helps us see ourselves with fresh eyes, act fearlessly, and generate momentum for growth.

At the Growth Collective, we view the world through a lens of opportunity. Although our operating environment might be challenging, groeth opportunities always exist. What is possible is for us to decide.

Join us in building a positive future based on growth together!

The Vision for Finland’s Growth study was conducted in collaboration with the strategy agency Noren, and it was funded by the Foundation of the Confederation of Finnish Industries and Employers (TT Foundation).

OUR PARTNERS

Growth Collective - the first decade

In 2015, a group of experienced business leaders shared a common concern about the challenges of growth in the Finnish business sector. In their view, there are a significant number of medium-sized companies in Finland whose growth potential remains untapped. The Growth Collective was established to support these companies in strengthening their growth will and ability.

Medium-sized companies only account for about 1% of all companies in Finland, but they generate almost a quarter of the turnover of Finnish companies and over 20% of private sector jobs. The growth of these companies has a significant impact on the Finnish economy and society. The founders of the Growth Collective had a vision that together, by sharing authentic experiences among companies, we can accelerate the growth of all companies.

Sparring with over 400 companies

The Growth Collective has always been based on peer-to-peer activity. We have challenged companies to make more outrageous growth promises than each other, which has inspired significant growth leaps. We have built a community at the heart of which medium-sized companies and their executives meet their peers.

OUR VALUES

Growth Collective

“The values ​​of the Growth Collective do not only benefit our community, but they also move the whole of Finland forward.”

“The values ​​of the Growth Collective do not only benefit our community, but they also move the whole of Finland forward.”

Courage

In the Growth Collective, courage means ambition to renew, grow, and reach high. Courage is visible in outrageous growth promises, tough choices, and in genuine and honest openness among peers.

Playfulness

We take what we do seriously – but never too seriously. We embrace experimentation, encourage playfulness and a twinkle in the eye, and stay curious and optimistic about the future.

Selfless support

We help each other honestly and without expecting anything in return. We come together to build something bigger than ourselves – with gratitude, generosity, and the desire to see others grow and evolve.

Experience

Our members speak from their own experience. Growth and renewal are approached in a practical way, seeking solutions. Experience is reflected in shared stories, everyday examples, and clear insights.
