Important results from the project
Our overall objective is to create the world´s best startup and scaleup ecosystem for growth and network building. We achieve this by creating program that focus on helping companies and entrepreneurs to get the best conditions to build successful global organizations and grow both as companies and individuals, with Stockholm as a base. We have already seen positive effects of the efforts, which have given us opportunity to strengthen our own organization, as well as generate new "leads" to create similar programs for additional nations (of which one dialogue now in contract phase).
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** We feel that we successfully met the goal, that our clients are very satisfied with the outcome, and that we put ourselves in a very good position to reach the next objective; to go from being a "pilot case" to becoming a "hub" within ESG´s global accelerator program´s partner network. The extension dialogue has already started at the end of last year, and now in January 2023 the work to extend continues tasked. Our objective is to close a 2-3 year agreement during Q1 2023 at the latest.
