Interview with Frida Anundsson from Sparbanksstiftelsen Norrland, Founders of the Bünsow Business Growth Forum.
Why is Sparbanksstiftelsen Norrland involved as Founders of the Bünsow Business Growth Forum?
– We want to help facilitate attractive meeting places for collaboration and development in the county. The idea of the Bünsow Business Growth Forum is to create a platform where business and politics can network, develop skills and do business.
Fredrik Bünsow was a true entrepreneur, what is an entrepreneur to you?
– Entrepreneurship is vision, passion and courage. It is moving from words to action.
How does Sparbanksstiftelsen Norrland work to stimulate entrepreneurship?
– Entrepreneurship is very close to our heart and therefore we are a proud partner of Ung Företagsamhet in Västernorrland. Through this collaboration, we are working to create better conditions for the next generation of entrepreneurs to succeed. Through Sparbanksstiftelsen Norrlands Risk Capital Foundation, we have the opportunity to invest in shareholdings and help young companies in our region with venture capital, knowledge and networks.
What did you think of this year’s Forum?
– This year’s forum really lived up to my expectations, which were to make contacts and gain new insights and knowledge. The green transition brings so many opportunities to northern Sweden. Cooperation and dialogue are important factors for success, which I think this year’s forum promoted.
