MIF Milestones

managers were

desperately needed to develop Finnish

businesses. To answer this need, the JTO School of Management was

established in 1946.

In 1962, a foundation was created to promote export and offer training needed for successful international trading. It became later known as Fintra.

Infor was founded in 1987 to train experts in working efficiently with the media. Infor also published and compiled comprehensive media indexes to help

companies in their PR efforts.

MIF Milestones

Infor were merged to form MIF. Our partners include:

• IMD in Lausanne

• Haas School of Business Berkeley in California

• Ashridge Business School in London

In January 2015 the two leading Nordic ICT training companies, Tieturi in Finland and

Informator in Sweden, as well as the customer management consulting company Aspectum were merged into MIF to form the largest training company in the Nordic countries.

In April 2014, MIF became part of the Soprano group.
