“I never imagined it would be possible to bring together such a diverse group of people from six continents who have so much in common. It’s been a pleasure bonding with you, learning from you, and working together on group projects”, concluded one of the GNAM participants.

Professor Mattias Nordqvist and Executive Director Rasmus Rahm, PhD, have designed the Nordic Entrepreneurship course at SSE in a format that allows students to delve into concepts, mindsets, and models crucial for understanding successful entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the Nordic entrepreneurial ecosystem. A key feature of the course is its embrace of the complexity of Nordic entrepreneurship, focusing on various themes relevant to understanding how and why startups and established firms engage in entrepreneurial activities and achieve entrepreneurial outcomes.
