Why is it called Bünsow Business Growth Forum?
The forum was named after super-entrepreneur Fredrik Bünsow, who immigrated from Germany to Sweden at the age of 21. He started his career as a bookshop assistant for Albert Bonnier and then inherited a timber company in Sundsvall in 1847, whereupon he quickly realized the potential of the steam saw. Through wise and bold investments, he built a timber empire that made him the second richest man in the country, after Alfred Nobel. The patron’s life’s work was created with courage and innovation in the midst of an industrial revolution. Fredrik Bünsow is known today as one of the most wealthy Swedish businessmen of the 19th century.
