After a careful selection process, which took into account the applicants' experience, network and motivation, 63 candidates from 22 countries and 3 regions were selected. The participant group represents a broad mix of private sector, academia, NGO/civil society and public sector. What they have in common is their commitment to promoting entrepreneurship in their local ecosystems and a desire to strengthen these through international exchange of experience.The program is designed as a hybrid program that lasts for 10 weeks. The participants meet digitally every week and then gather for a conference week in Stockholm on October 21–25. During the week in Sweden, the participants have the opportunity to network both with each other and with actors within the Swedish ecosystem for sustainable entrepreneurship. Visits are planned to Norrsken House, Epicenter and STING. Additionally, participants will participate in the Techarena Zero event on October 23. Show less
