Vision: Leading the way

Our vision highlights Haaga-Helia's pioneering position and strong connections to working life. We want to lead the way in renewing competences and businesses. Our impact is built on high-quality education, applied research that benefits business, internationalization, regional influence, and responsibility.

Towards the vision with our goals

We have three strategic goals:

• The excellent learning experience and competences can be sought, for example, in solutions for pedagogy, RDI, guidance and continuous learning. 

• Future-oriented and sustainable solutions are related to, among other things, value creation and thought leadership in national and international networks, RDI as a catalyst for companies' competence, foresight and knowledge-based management, as well as profitable operating models and a stable economy. Sustainability also refers to a responsible way of operating.

• A thriving higher education community includes the well-being of both students and staff. We work for the benefit of students, as a community that learns and cares together.

Four important values

We have four values: courage, curiosity, caring, and collaboration.
