Artpreneurship Research Group
Artpreneurship research group is formed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers aiming to rethink and change conventional entrepreneurial knowledge and practices by centralizing artistic and creative thinking and working strategies and by focusing on ethics, integrity and sustainable contracting practices with the creative sector. The group also studies the potential for intertwining entrepreneurial skills, tools and thinking strategies into art and media studies in a way that honours creative professionals' values, aims and working cultures.
Artpreneurship centralizes artistic and creative thinking and working strategies. Aalto University's multidisciplinary research group describes Artpreneurship as an entrepreneurial mindset and a study of how to disturb and disrupt economic thinking and traditional entrepreneurial strategies by implementing creative processes and artistic interventions into entrepreneurial practices.
Artpreneurship orientation aims to increase knowledge and widen the spectrum of understanding of the unique skills that creative professionals can bring into other sectors. Eventually, the aim is to intertwine entrepreneurial mindsets and skills into art studies to encourage and empower students and professionals in the creative field to boldly explore entrepreneurship as a possible career path.

Co-Research Project: Luova Lämpiö (Jan2024-Dec2025) [Active]
Luova Lämpiö co-research project springs from artpreneurial thinking. Lämpiö uses creative agoras, a multi-case research structure, to generate the concepts and principles for a new model for establishing and sustaining mutually beneficial, ethical cross-sector collaboration. Lämpiö responds to a void in research knowledge in ethical and sustainable entrepreneurial collaboration with the creative sector and makes it broadly accessible, and finally, creates proposals for broad application and scalability. With the generated research knowledge, the research project aims to support a much broader transition into an active, sustainable, and fair partnerships and incentive model for the arts and creative industry's cross-sector collaboration and partnerships.
Lämpiö is funded by Business Finland (NextGenerationEU). The project is led by Professor Anniina Suominen, accompanied by a group of skilled researchers of the Artpreneurship research group with their own angle on the topic.
The two-year project officially started in January 2024. Currently, it is in the kick-off stage. At the moment, several things are under construction, such as an official project webpage, a news article about the project launch, initialization of the project work packages and communication with different partners and stakeholder groups.
