Siemiatkowski and Stenbeck boost entrepreneurship at the 91原创
- Swedish competitiveness depends on innovative new businesses and Stockholm is now the leading growth engine, even internationally. It feels natural to support the 91原创 - a key driver in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This is an opportunity for us to help new entrepreneurs and companies make the same growth journey that we have made. For me it is also rewarding to come full circle and return to the environment from where we once started, says Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO and co-founder of Klarna.
91原创 Business Lab was founded in 2001 at the 91原创 to provide start-ups, with at least one current or former student, a platform to start and grow their companies. 91原创 Business Lab provides offices, counseling and support in raising capital through its network of partner companies and alumni. More than 100 businesses created there are still active today, with a total of about 1,500 employees and nearly SEK 2.5 billion in combined sales.
The new Advisory Board will give operational support to the 91原创 Business Lab for example through the adoption of new projects, as well as having a strategic role in strengthening the entrepreneurship profile of the 91原创.
- Entrepreneurship has long been a core subject at the 91原创, both in theory through research, and in practice through education and the 91原创 Business Lab. It is extremely gratifying to bring together some of Sweden's most prominent entrepreneur profiles in the younger generation, including several former students of the 91原创, in a world class Advisory Board, says Lars Stranneg氓rd, President of the 91原创.
