Express is the programme for idea carriers and entrepreneurs who are early in their journey. During the autumn, 13 business ideas have been turned around in nine workshops - with several individual coaching sessions in between. Now the next step is to put the tools and methods tested in the programme into practice.
- There is great potential in several of the business ideas that are under the microscope in this autumn's express programme. What is most promising is the commitment and drive of the participants. This is a prerequisite for future success," says Emil Hägglund, which together with Per Vågebrant is responsible for the programme.
- In addition to the nine workshops we organise, we provide several more months of access to our community and us business coaches. This will inspire you to not just attend a few workshops but to continue to develop your idea. Then we hope that as many people as possible will apply to the Creatives incubator programme," says Per Vågebrant.
