Results and expected effects

The young participants have achieved valuable knowledge and insights in creativity and innovation processes. Many of them have had a first time experience regarding responsibility to manage a project in relation to a company. The entrepreneurs recieved inspiration from their future customers and employees. Some of them, but few went ahead with an Pilotansökan. The participants have been connected to our network for future projects and activities. Our partners and sponsors have recieved great visibility, both in our recruitment and implementation process.

Approach and implementation

We have had a big difference in the planned and the implemented structure for the project. Mainly it was because the recruitment of the young participants did not go as expected. Instead of recruitment by schools we had to recruit through our partners, which also meant that the program had to be adjusted in terms of time and content. In addition, we implemented the planned approach of innovation camp, and matchmaking between the young participants and entrepreneurs.
