Last year, the Stockholm School of Economics and their venture incubator SSE Business Lab launched Ideate, a new entrepreneurship initiative meant to get more students to start companies. Now the program reaches new levels, as the Stockholm School of Economics and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology join forces, making it possible for students from both of these prestigious schools to participate and start businesses together.

Today, eleven new companies today start their journeys in the Stockholm School of Economics’ prestigious venture incubator SSE Business Lab. Among tough competition these companies managed to impress the star-studded Board of Admissions, with profiles like Lisa Lindström, Sven Hagströmer and Anna Stenberg, with their pitches.

Earlier this year, The Stockholm School of Economics and their venture incubator SSE Business Lab launched the new program Ideate, intended to encourage more students to start their own companies. Now the program is back, and with entrepreneurs who have founded companies like Oatly, Karma and Kobalt Music, the program is once again filled with some real star power.

The "Grosshandelssocietet Grant to Especially Dedicated Entrepreneurs" of 100.000 SEK to an entrepreneur at SSE Business Lab is part of the collaboration between Grosshandelssociteten and the Stockholm School of Economics, where entrepreneurs at SSE Business Lab annually are chosen for the award. The collaboration has now become an official partnership with SSE Business Lab where the goal is to encourage and support entrepreneurship in Stockholm even further.

Backed by superstar entrepreneurs like Josefin Langård and Fredrik Hjelm, the Stockholm School of Economics and their venture incubator SSE Business Lab are gearing up to take entrepreneurship to the next level. The new program Ideate aims to increase the number of startups founded by students.
