How can technology and entrepreneurship turn some of the world’s biggest challenges into opportunities for building the companies of the next economy?
Sign up below and hear about the opportunities that are emerging for impact-driven businesses and what founders need to turn promising ideas into scalable ventures.
Norrsken is built on the belief that technology and entrepreneurship are powerful forces for solving some of the world’s greatest challenges. But what does this mean for the next economy – and for the founders and companies that will shape it?
In this session, Johanna Lundmark explores why impact-driven businesses are moving beyond a niche, how some of the world’s biggest societal and environmental challenges are becoming opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation, and what kinds of companies could emerge as a result.
Drawing on concrete examples from Norrsken’s global ecosystem, the session looks at what founders need to turn promising ideas into scalable ventures and how access to knowledge, networks, communities, and capital can help them along the way. Johanna will also share how Norrsken works as both an ecosystem builder and investor, including how its houses, funds, partnerships, and Global Angel Network connect founders with the resources they need to grow.
By the end, students will have a better understanding of the opportunities emerging at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and impact, as well as what it takes to help these ventures scale.
