Helena Mustikainen

I lead Sitra’s Innovations for Sustainable Growth project. The multi-year project aims to support actors in developing the RDI (Research, Development, and Innovation) system at both national and regional levels. Sitra’s role is especially to accelerate collaboration between research and businesses to enable productivity and economic growth.

I have 25 years of experience as a supervisor and has managed various change projects in the public and private sectors. My work has given me a broad knowledge of the entire public sector, including local authorities, the social welfare and healthcare system, culture, education and, most recently, the RDI sector.

Contact me if you want to know more about the Innovations for Sustainable Growth project, Sitra’s work in developing the RDI system, setting goals for change or implementing and managing change. She is also interested in new organisational cultures and the added value that we all gain from collaboration.
