SSE Business Lab connects SSE, KI and KTH
The first Sthlm Pitch Meetup recently took place in the new premises of SSE Business Lab. The idea is for there to be three entrepreneurs pitching each time: one from each of the universities and a panel consisting of one representative from each partner organization, plus one invited guest. In addition, the audience can vote for a winner.
During the first successful event, three inspiring entrepreneurs presented their ideas to the panel in front of an engaged and knowledgeable audience that filled the entire hall.
“SSE, KTH and KI are three top schools, located within a 1.2-kilometer radius in one of the world’s most innovative cities. We want to provide a meeting forum for the people connected to these three schools, who have an interest in entrepreneurship. We see a great opportunity for this to lead to more innovative companies being started by teams with different backgrounds in the future,” says Douglas Stark, CEO at SSE Business Lab.
After the pitches, the audience voted for the best pitch. The winner this time was: Språk i vården from KI.

The three companies pitching were:
Språk i vården
Imagine getting sick in a country where you are not understood. You do not share a common language and you feel vulnerable. Linus Kullänger – one of the initiators of Språk i vården – has developed an app for smartphones and tablets that serves as a tool for healthcare professionals to communicate with patients who do not speak Swedish.
POKI Robotics
POKI Robotics develop fully autonomous, electric self-learning robotic systems. As golfers, they experienced a gap in a market first-hand, with their first product being an autonomous golf ball collector for driving ranges. The potential for their autonomous, electric self-learning robotic systems does not end at the driving range. They see a multitude of application areas for their future systems – in the air, sea or on land, using drones, submersibles, and more.
Inex.One
Inex develops a SaaS tool to reshape the way organizations gather market intelligence. Their clients include leading management consulting and investment firms and major corporations. The benefits include cost- and time-efficiency, improved quality, and GDPR compliance.
