Our Projects

Platform

We are building an online tool for cities that want to improve job creation and inclusion

Startup Preschool

A 3-day crash course in entrepreneurship

Our society needs people who will create new jobs, fuel the sustainable economic growth and contribute to an including society. There is a need for people with different ways of thinking, language skills and diverse knowledge.

At the same time there are many undiscovered talents, willing to take risks and innovate if they get proper support. Our aim is to uncover future entrepreneurs and support them towards first steps in the Nordic startup community.

We partner up with cities and local startup ecosystems to make this popular event happen!

Talks and books

We frequently do talks based on our book - Startup Migrants

Europe is facing considerable challenges in regard to immigration and integration. NGOs, civil society, tech sectors and domestic startup ecosystems wish to solve this problem, but struggle because of an expanding knowledge gap and fragmented communities.

We have interviewed more than 200 policy makers, entrepreneurs, NGOs and migrants in Europe and the Middle East.
Want to know more about the startup ecosystems in Europe or the Nordics?
