The Entrepreneurs and Innovators of the Future Are in Flemingsberg

In Flemingsberg, innovators and entrepreneurs gather to take their ideas to the next level. This time, they met during an intensive pitch workshop, organized by us at the foundation in collaboration with Venture Cup and pitching expert Malcolm Larri.

How do I convince and create engagement in just two minutes?
This workshop was aimed at those with a business idea who need to understand the key elements of building an engaging pitch. During the intensive session, participants had the opportunity to challenge themselves and find their value proposition – an offer that not only creates understanding but also sparks interest and meaning.

“Innovators need to become great communicators of the value of their work – no one else understands it better than they do. But unfortunately, people with the technical skills to innovate don’t spend enough time learning how to pitch that value, so many brilliant ideas do not receive the attention or funding they really deserve, and sadly never make it market” – Malcolm Larri, coach and pitching expert

Participants also had the opportunity to learn about the Flemingsberg Science Award IDEA, a regional competition that is part of Venture Cup’s national business plan competition, offering a chance to win 5,000 SEK and one month of free membership at Innovation Station Flemingsberg.

Can games change how we understand mental illness in young people?

What if a game could help young people understand why they feel unwell? That was the idea that sparked something in Lars Klintwall, a child psychologist at BUP and associate professor at Karolinska Institutet. By combining psychology and games, he wants to shift the focus from diagnoses to the individual’s unique network of problems, and give patients tools to recognize how negative spirals emerge.
