The House of Innovation

Our home, the Erling Persson House of Innovation, is a 1920s Nordic-classical building on Norrtullsgatan in Stockholm. Renovated and reimagined, it is now a purpose-built space for research, collaboration, and discovery. Walking through its corridors, you encounter large-scale artworks that provoke, invite reflection, and remind us that the best thinking rarely happens in a straight line.

Art is central to life at the Stockholm School of Economics. The works on display at the House of Innovation are therefore not solely for decoration. They are part of the intellectual environment. From Lars Arrhenius's playful and poignant video portrait of the school, to Peter Hagdahl's sprawling two-floor installation mapping economic flows and social transformation, each piece adds a layer of meaning to the spaces where researchers, students, entrepreneurs, and visitors think and work together.

We believe that creativity, innovation, empathy, and the ability to see beyond conventional logic are essential for tackling the societal challenges of tomorrow. The curated environment at HoI is a reflection of that belief: a place where history and momentum coexist, where conversations feel fresh and relevant, and where you sense, from the moment you arrive, that something new is happening.
