Today the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences organizes the second Prince Daniel's Entrepreneurial Day, which is a part of Prince Daniel's Fellowship and its entrepreneurial programme. Johan Weigelt, project leader or Prince Daniel's Fellowship: "We organize Prince Daniel's Entrepreneurial Day for the second time, and the interest has been huge. We want the day to give young entrepreneurs the opportunity to learn from more experienced actors and to create networks for the future. We think this is a fantastic arena to take the next step in entrepreneurship".
The Day brings together over 100 entrepreneurs from across the country to discuss entrepreneurship challenges and key issues. Daniel and a large group of Prince Daniel's Fellowships experts attend at the day. And during the day, the mentors and mentees who worked together for two years in the mentoring program, which is part of the project are thanked. Seven new mentee-mentor pairs are also presented and they are now starting their journey together. The day ends with a dinner.

Johan T Lindwall has been at Prince Daniel's Entrepreneurial Day.
- When we started this, I had a vision that we would gather a lot of knowledge that can help all those eager to learn and driven young entrepreneurs who want to create. Now, after two years the result is fantastic, says Daniel.
Prince Daniel's Fellowship consists of three pillars: School visits, entrepreneurial day and a mentoring program.
- We have visited 20 upper secondary schools and 20 universities from Luleå to Malmö. Incredible results have become and to ensure collaboration between an entrepreneur and a young entrepreneur can become pure magic, says Daniel.
Prince Daniel is convinced that we have to dare to fail in order to succeed:
- We have to cast a little courage in the younger generation. It's important to get all young people who want to start businesses to take the step. What we know today is that the fear of failure is why many don't take the step. They simply don't dare. It's something we need to put our finger on. Something we must do something about. Running a company is associated with risk. But if you are more afraid to fail than to succeed there will be no business today in Sweden.
President and Group Chief Executive of the Swedish bank SEB Annika Falkengren thinks that Prince Daniel's Fellowship is "very important":
- Now we see after a few years this has become something that engages people and is important. Visiting these schools. It started small, but now we see that it is becoming more large-scale. That itself is just fantastic.

The business profiles about Prince Daniel and his Prince Daniel's Fellowship:
President Annika Falkengren, SEB: We see that the royal family helps the business community to open doors. Also in this project, we can quite easily show who the prince is with his background. That he can help and get the business life to set up and inspire wisely. It is a good example of what can be done together with the royal family.
Investor's Marcus Wallenberg: I think that the Royal House has a very important role. Attractivenesswise to show what is important for our society.
He pays tribute to Prince Daniel and his Fellowship: A great opportunity for all those who are here.
Johan Weigelt, project leader of Prince Daniel's Fellowship: Daniel's influence is enormous and important. What he does for the Fellowship is invaluable and he inspires so many others.
Video, Daniel is also interviewed.

Article about the Day in Svenska Dagbladet: Prince Daniel: Do not be afraid to fail
- Per capita, Stockholm is the second-most prolific technology hub after Silicon Valley. To see what it means hopefully will inspire others to follow. One should not underestimate the power of good example, says Prince Daniel.

Prins Daniel fortsätter att inspirera unga entreprenörer _ Svensk Damtidning

Daniel said at his welcoming speech: "You entrepreneurs are solving big and small problems, and sometimes you succeed out of nothing to create something amazing, something that the rest of us didn't think was possible, and didn't know that we could not be without that. Entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial friends! It feels very good to welcome you warmly to our Entrepreneurial Day. For nearly three years ago the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and I launched the Prince Daniel's Fellowship and entrepreneurial program together with some of Sweden's many entrepreneurial role models. The aim is to inspire young people to dare, so that all young people who want to start a business should dare to take the step".

:previous: I think the SRF really lucked out when Victoria's parents finally accepted her choice of husband. She had known and loved him well for years and I suspect she not only loved the man that he was but believed in the man he could become. And that man was not just arm candy to hold at formal events as a lot of people thought.

The thing nobody else could have guessed was how much of a role model he would become so quickly and in so many fields. His work with health and fitness for youth, with young entrepreneurs, with his transplant advocacy and generally what an all round asset he was going to become to not only the Swedish Royal Family but to his country!

ps: I still don't like his new spectacles. They could well rival Harry Potter's.

Daniel arrived this morning at about 08.00 to Helsinki, Finland. He attends at Slush entrepreneurs' event. Slush is the focal point for entrepreneurs and tech talent to meet with top-tier international investors, executives and media. Among the speakers are president of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves and former president of Finland, the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Martti Ahtisaari. Daniel is accompanied by ambassador Anders Lidén.

Daniel told to finnish business newspaper Kauppalehti, that Slush is well known at Swedish technology circles. "I was curious and I wanted to come and see what's happening here", he said as the reason for his visit. "I'm really impressed with skills and activities of the organizers."
The prince walked with Slush-organizers among the startups. To the future start-up entrepreneurs Daniel has an advice: The road to a successful entrepreneur does not necessarily require clever or unique idea, but it is the implementation that counts. "Execution is everything", Prince Daniel says.

The court tells at it's website, that the day began with a breakfast meeting where 250 company leaders attended. Mattias Ljungman from Atomico spoke about "It's never been a better time to be a European tech entrepreneur" and Jeff Schumacher, ceo of BCG Digital Ventures, about "Re-imagining and re-creating world-leading businesses with digital ventures". Then Daniel listened prime minister Sipilä's opening speech. After a tour at Slush Daniel attended at a mingle lunch with Swedish startup companies and international investors. During the afternoon he took part in a series of corporate presentations. The day ends with a mingling dinner at the Swedish Embassy. Ambassador Anders Lidén hosts the dinner in which 26 Swedish startups through "speed dating" make contacts with potential Finnish customers.

Well said MARG. I was thinking the same thing when I read your post. Daniel has definitely become an asset to the SRF. Love seeing him out on duty. I soooooo can't wait to see him with another little one at home.
 
According to the finnish press Daniel was the star of the day. Everyone wanted to talk with him and the startup-entrepreneurs took photos of him visiting their stands.

What, after all, was the main thing was Prince Daniel's real genuine commitment to entrepreneurial issues. With his own entrepreneurial background and a genuine desire to do something positive for Sweden in combination with a verbal brilliance and Prince title on top, he will do much good for entrepreneurship in Sweden. He led much of the day himself, gave the opening speech, participated in table discussions and stood up spontaneously and spoke several times during the dinner.

Ammi Shaffer, ceo of SmellWell, was invited to the Entrepreneurial Day and met Daniel. She and her husband started over a year ago to think what to do to the awful smell on their daughter's football shoes. Ammi's husband invited a "scent bag" which is put to the shoes, and it is now sold at over 1000 shops in Scandinavia. Ammi Shaffer says that Daniel is both easy-going, funny, charming, and easy to like. Charismatic. He is an entrepreneur basically and passionate about what he does.
But Daniel didn't get any scent bag with him. No, it was not allowed to distribute any products during the day.
- It would still be fun if we became a royal purveyor one day.

The Prince Daniel's Fellowship starts a new round of the mentoring program with the official start on 10 November. Seven new mentee-mentor pairs will work together until November 2017. The aim is to help the driven young entrepreneurs to the next stage of company development.
Last round mentee-mentor pairs were thanked at Prince Daniel's Entrepreneurial Day. They have worked together during 2013-2015, and the five young entrepreneurs who participated all testify to how important it was to get support from the mentor. Now, more entrepreneurs get the chance. After a selection process, seven companies founded and run by nine involved contractors were selected for the program. These have been matched with mentors with experience.

A prince plus three individuals who had launched a company based on a strong idea - and succeeded - is the recipe for an entertaining and eventful performance.
- When I was young I thought that I would work with people and health. I had not thought to start a business like I did, Prince Daniel told.
- I said when I was little, that I'd be a millionaire. It was the coolest man could say in Norrköping suburb, where there were no such. The starting point has since evolved into something else. Ambition beats all times knowledge, Johan Skarborg said.
- Yes, we are driven by what we believe in, said Jacob de Geer and said to the students: You belong to a generation that complicate it further. Studies show that you have more believe than previous generations in yourself than in others, whether it is God or parents.
The four underscored each the need to overcome obstacles and not be discouraged by setbacks, in the end, "to do what you are passionate about".
- It's blood, sweat and tears to build a business, said Gunilla von Platen.

SVT News Halland interviewed Daniel. Daniel said that his best advice for a young entrepreneur is to find an experienced entrepreneur who can give advice so that the young one wouldn't make the same mistakes. Mistakes will come sooner or later. What is required to be an entrepreneur? Daniel says that sometimes one focuses too much on the business idea, the execution is the most important thing. One has to have good timing and luck of course and one has to be ready to work hard and have passion to what one is doing. What does the prince get of meeting these students? It gives me very much, says Daniel, it is very exhilarating to meet these young people who have so much thoughts. I learn very much from these young people, when I hear what they are concerned of and what they are thinking about. I learn about the younger generation. You have got some presents from here, among them an ecological teddy, will it come for the baby? I think that Estelle will take care of it before that, said Daniel.

At the Halmstad University: Prince Visits inspired future entrepreneurs; Courage, passion and ability to find the right employees - that are the keys to success for those who want to become an entrepreneur. Prince Daniel noted in the end that a good entrepreneur isn't only working for himself, but also creates values for others:
- I see in these talks we have at schools and universities how people want to change and do good for others. I feel that your generation stands for that you want to make a difference.

Newspaper Ekuriren interviewed Daniel. He said that the discussions had been good and it is always great to meet young ambitious people with a lot of energy and many questions. In the end of the interview The reporter asks how a parent can courage their children about entrepreneurship, Daniel said that as a parent one wants to ensure that one's child is safe and happy, when the children often became courageous and believe in themselves. A parent should give a child a lot of safety and love. The reporter asks if Daniel has thought it for Estelle, how she can be interested in these questions? It is too early for that, Daniel said.
Daniel told why he runs project Prince Daniel Fellowship: A successful entrepreneur will help not only himself but helps many people by creating jobs.
He also spoke about the challenges that exist in society, in Eskilstuna it is quite high unemployment, especially among young people.
The prince says that entrepreneurs are people that solve big and small problems.
- You who sit here might be thinking that you don't have a great business idea, but the most common is that entrepreneurs are taking simple things and make them better. It need not be that you will solve a major problem.
He also talked about his background as an entrepreneur in gym business. Together with a friend, he bought then a gym.
- I had a passion. I loved to train. As early as 15-16 years old, I made fitness programs for mates. Then I started working as a trainer at gyms in Stockholm. I burned for training, I wanted to affect human health. A kick for me was that someone who had had back pain for life could get rid of it. One shouldn't think that you can't start a business if you, for example, aren't outgoing or aren't good with the technology, because you can find someone who can.
The prince invited high school students to participate in the Junior Achievement Young Enterprise.
- That experience will give you have more and better opportunities to make a good career if you want to do it.

Daniel in Kalmar:
- Entrepreneurship is one of the most important parts of the community and therefore I try to inspire others through this program.
The prince was once self-employed when he ran a gym.
- That is precisely why I think this program is particularly important. We have visited 45-50 upper secondary schools and universities. We believe in the power of good role models.
With him Daniel has also some entrepreneurs. Martin Lorentzon, one of two founders of the music service Spotify that completely changed the music industry, says:
- The most important thing is not to have a superb idea - the key is to be patient and develop what one believes in. One must also dare to fail in order to succeed.

Prins Daniel besöker Kalmar - Barometern

Daniel gave an interview to 24Kalmar and told why they are visiting schools:
- We see that there is great interest in Sweden in general, and especially among young people. One sees opportunities to do business. But the step from that one sees the possibility until it really takes step is very large. And we know that the reason to that is that one is afraid to fail. If you are more afraid of failure than interested in succeeding there will be no business. What we try to do is slowly but surely influence the culture.
The reporter asks how Daniel can work with his passion to entrepreneurship as a member of the royal family.
- Good question. Like this, when I took the initiative of this and turned to the Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences, which became my partner in this. And we got about 40 entrepreneurs involved in this.
To the question if Daniel would like to start something new, he said that yes, in his role now, his role is to do good things for Sweden and the swedish people.

- This may have been the best thing that happened throughout this school, says Nellie Andersson.
She is in her last year at Lars Kaggskolan in Kalmar. Since some months back she runs a Young Enterprise business where she sells riding lessons. In the future, she hopes to continue with entrepreneurship.
- That's what I really enjoy. I would really like to continue with it.
Hampus Jansson is also for the last year of school and thinks that the meeting with the prince, and the entrepreneurs was rewarding.
- I think it was instructive. I got many good tips for the future.

According to the court Daniel said among other things: "As some of you know, I have spent most of my adult life to in various ways motivate people to a healthy living. It is not always easy to live up to our desired exercise habits, we all know it... We have been talking about that we need to move at least 30 minutes every day and it is super important. But now the research says that this is not enough if you are otherwise sedentary most of the day. We see a paradox in this field in our country. On the one hand we are the country where people are exercising the most in the whole of Europe. On the other hand, we belong to one of the most sedentary populations".

He did seem in a very good mood! But I didn't quite understand what he wanted to say... ??? How can the swedish people be the one that exercise the most but at the same time the more sedentaty people?

Well, if at a poll for instance 80 % of the Swedes say that they exercise at least once a week (jog, run, go to the gym) and that is the best result in Europe at the poll, but outside this exercise the Swedes sit in front of their computers, laptops and tablets more than 8 hours a day 5-6 days a week, they are very sedentary and don't get "normal" exercise by moving at their home/office hardly at all.

Ah thanks... I had completely misunderstood the statement:lol:
 
Daniel attended on Monday at the meeting of the Board of Junior Achievement-Young Enterprise Sweden (Ung Företagsamhet).

On Tuesday Daniel met Anna Ryott, the Managing Director of Swedfund. Swedfund is the development financier of the Swedish state. It's goal is a world without extreme poverty. Their tools are sustainable investments that create good jobs and growth.
 
Daniel had today two meetings at the Royal Palace:
First he met Secretary General Kristina Sparreljung and Marketing manager Anna Fredholm from The Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation. Daniel is the honorary chairman of the Foundation.
Later Daniel met Anders Hamsten, the Vice-Chancellor of Karolinska Institutet.

We will see if the court puts photos and article about these meetings to their website.
