Nordic Happiness Summit

About Us

Welcome to the heart of a transformative movement!

Our initiative is more than an event; it’s a shared vision to inspire and ignite progress in Finland, Sweden, and beyond. Anchored in collaboration, this biannual movement unites two leading institutions: Hanken School of Economics' Business Lab and Stockholm School of Economics' Center for Wellbeing, Welfare, and Happiness. Together, we explore the intersection of well-being, happiness and sustainable growth.

Mission & Vision

To make the world happier by sharing research, best practices, art and insights on well-being and happiness from the Nordics and beyond.

To bring together a community of students, researchers, artists, companies, practisioners and policymakers dedicated to exploring and promoting well-being and happiness across the Nordics and worldwide.

An Annual Gathering of Minds

Held annually, alternating between Finland and Sweden, our gatherings serve as a dynamic platform to share ideas, showcase innovations, and build a better future together. It’s a place where Nordic values meet global ambition, highlighting the power of collaboration in shaping what’s next.

Join us on this journey as we co-create a brighter, happier and more balanced tomorrow.
