What’s cooking? (updated Wednesday July 15th 2024)

Holiday! đŸ„łđŸŒž

At least from my day job at KTH Innovation, now I’m looking forward to four weeks for a bit less on my plate, still active and available but at a much slower pace.

Happy to book keynotes for the autumn, the calendar has a tendency of filling up fast so get your placeholder date booked now!

Let me know what you need – I combine innovation, creativity, leadership, sustainability into an inspirational & motivational mix that suits the talk at hand. My own latest talks combine innovation & sustainability or leadership & sustainability .

  • Sustainable Innovation / HĂ„llbar Innovation
  • Sustainable Leadership / HĂ„llbart ledarskap

Then still on a high from the article in Dagens Nyheter, one of Sweden’s largest morning papers, featuring yours truly and some really nice entrepreneurs that me and my colleagues have supporter the past couple of years, here’s a link to the post on LinkedIn, now with 18 000+ views and still counting (!).

(Here’s the link to a PDF with the article, since I am guessing it’s behind a paywall for most of you.)

Apart from that, things that take up my time are mainly EWB and MellanmÄl Inc.

Entrepreneurs Without Borders is the foundation I started a number of years ago and after a bunch of rough years (i.e pandemic) we regrouped and managed to pull off our best event so far in November 2023, it was amazing! I still meet the 2023 awardee of the EWB Award, Dominique Alonga, every week or so for a coaching session.

Then in during the spring of 2024 we were accepted into a EU funded accelerator for ecosystem hubs; https://www.consolid8.ro/ecosystem/deep-inclusive-social-innovation-ecosystems We are spending the summer getting ready for the autumn when we start the two year implementation phase. That will see us organizing “Impact Chapters” in cities all over the world (starting in Europe), groups that meet regularly, just like Rotary or other membership clubs, all with the aim to spread good ideas faster, create jobs and reach the UN SDGs.

The second project taking up my time is my latest food venture – MellanmĂ„l Inc An US company that brings in health(ier) Swedish snacks and beverages to America. They need to eat better and we need bigger markets for our products.
