Mikko Ahonen’s Summary

Open innovation, creativity, EMF&Health, IT and sustainable development are my expertise (also research) areas.

I help organisations to innovate. In the EMF&Health field I help organisations and inviduals to manage risks. I coach individuals and groups to find their creative potential. To innovate means also to take responsibility of people and environment. Therefore I hate corruption and emphasise ethical conduct.

My personal network covers international experts both in industry and in academia and in the third sector.

Earlier assignments: I have been involved in several innovation, knowledge management, IT architecture and eLearning projects within the last 20 years. Consulting assignments have brought me to many companies (ask!) in Europe and in USA.

* Green IT and Healthy Work Environment

* Sustainable Wireless Information Systems - How to build them

* Health and Wireless Technologies - How to Minimise Risks

* Open Innovation (OI) and Innovation Marketplaces
