SSE Business Lab

SSE Business Lab is the startup incubator of the Stockholm School of Economics. We work to encourage entrepreneurship and help startups accelerate their growth. Since 2001, SSE Business Lab has supported over 300 companies – among them well-known successes like Klarna, Budbee, and Voi.

SSE’s startup incubator was founded in 2001 and in 2024, the Financial Times named its track record the best in Europe.

The FT ranking specifically points to companies like Klarna (number 25 in admissions), Fastator (36), Quinyx (41), Budbee (114), and Voi (174) as the main contributors to this top spot.

SSE Business Lab, among other things, has diversity criteria for admissions and helps its startups recruit in a gender-equal manner. Since 2020, more than two-thirds of the admitted companies have had at least one female co-founder.
