Last year Sverige-Norge.se started to work together with Jönkping university and the two talent students Berhane Yemane and Mikael Karlsson. The project was to improve our new searchengine and build a uniqe way to filter and sort out people in our existing database. The project is soon finnished and we gave Berhane and Mikael a gift to show our satisfaction.
First out was Entreprenörsskapsjakten, by Gustaf Josefsson, where I together with KVD.se (Kvarndammen) was judging a section when the competitors tried to come up with creative solutions to use social media for attracting new customers. The results were in great variety but overall very good and creative! The winners were Entreprenörspartiet with Lisa Lindgren, Ludwig Jonsson & Adrian Swartz.
Later at the night it was time for celebration with Idéfestivalen and Idégalan.
The day after I was spontaneously invited by my friend Johannes Hansen to attend and coach competitors in Hjärna, Hjärta, Cash, a competition that last for 48 hours and was about creating social entrepreneurship. The ideas were great and I’m looking forward to follow them to real business ideas.
After that it was time for Stockholm and SM in Ung Företagsamhet. A two day long event with incredible ideas and energy that refreshed your whole body. One of the days was meant for a national board meeting which I was attending. The winner was Bolsa UF.
One of the speakers for the opening ceremony was the Swedish prime minister, Fredrik Reinfeldt, which I, Viktor Nord, offcourse had to say a few words to.
Young Entrepreneurs of Sweden was represented by former UF-students Joakim Bank, Emma Knaggård Wendt, Erik Fjellborg and Per Anderberg Almhorn. Unfortunately I, Viktor Nord, am not a former UF student.
After that I went to Örebro to my friends Mikael Blix and Johan Berglund at Sportion to attend their yearly office party with a lot of familiar faces.
Then it was time for the 17 of may celebration in Oslo which last for a couple of days. I envy the Norwegian passion for the national day!
Here is my partner and better half Christian Josefsson and me Viktor Nord in the middle of Oslo. Take care so long!

Last week I had the opportunity to meet a lot of inspiring people! First out was Daniel Kaplan, one of the entrepreneurs behind Tradera.com, followed by Ebba Von Sydow, Carl Fredrik Sammelli, Urban Bäckström and the young entrepreneurs from “Historiens Bästa Generation”. The day was filled with energy! We had a lot to talk about and some of us stayed up until 05.00 in the morning.
The next day we had a morning meeting and while eating breakfast we discovered that we was in the newspaper (Dagens Industri) which gave me even more energy!

A couple of weeks ago I got nominated for best young entrepreneur in Sweden (west side). This was really flattering but my expectations was small. I was up against more promosing and much better entrepreneurs such as Eric Martinsson & Therese Albrechtson. Against my expectations I won that nomination and now I’m one of the finalists in the national event in Stockholm. They recorded a video of me. Unfortunately the video is in Swedish but you’re welcome to have a look anyway even though you don’t understand. Just click on the picture below:

Vote for the best Young Entrepreneur 2009 HERE.
The winner of this award will be presented at the Entrepreneur Gala in Stockholm the 24th of September 2009. The elite of the Swedish entrepreneurs are there and the event is stunning. If you cast a vote on any of the competitors you have the oppertunity to win free tickets. I would really appreciate that you cast your vote on the most promising entrepreneur and not just on me if you personally know me. Honestly I think I don’t have a chance against the other competitors. What do you think?
My competitors Marcus, Mattias and Ida are all three very successful entrepreneurs and they all deserve to win this competition. Unfortunately I don’t know them personally yet, but I hope I will meet them in Stockholm the 24th of September when the winner is named.
Marcus Anzengruber, founder of Constant
Mattias Tyrberg, founder of Saplo
Ida Backlund, founder of Rapunzel
