Jaakko Honko (1922–2006) was a former rector and chancellor of the Helsinki School of Economics. The Jaakko Honko event is organised biennially by Yrjö Jahnsson Foundation, Helsinki School of Economics Support Foundation, and Aalto University School of Business.
Internationality was at the heart of Jaakko Honko's activities, so you can honor his lifework by supporting our students and donating an optional sum to the School of Business International Student Exchange.
The donations to the international student exchange are now even more impactful, since our alumni Tuomo and Tarja Vuolteenaho have promised to match all donations made by individuals for international student exchange at the School of Business up to USD 1 million until the end of 2025.
