After Victoria had felt so sick with having cold that she had to cancel the two events in the afternoon, Daniel continued alone. He visited Woolpower, a company focused on the manufacture of woolen garments. Daniel said that it is interesting to visit a company which works on a field which has very much competition.

Prince Daniel and Governor Jöran Hägglund visited Sports Tech Research Centre at Mid Sweden University.
Professor Mikael Bäckström presented research conducted at the Centre and the guests visited three of the center's laboratories. In additivelab Lars-Erik Rännar handed a princess crown printed as 3D in plastic. The prince also got to see the 3D-printed medical implants made of titanium and textile lab where Kajsa Nilsson showed how functional material was tested.
At the center's new wind tunnel lab Prince Daniel got opportunity to control roller conveyor speed and incline while the elite athlete Zandra Reppe showed how also wheelchair users can use the test environment. "Awesome!" said the Prince when the researcher Mats Ainegren told about the wind tunnel's unique characteristics.
Prince Daniel was interested and asked many questions to the researchers. He was impressed by the center's operations, which he described as "the cutting edge" and that can really make a difference and aimed, among other things, the research on 3D printed implants.

Still a photo of Daniel visiting TeliaSonera on Thursday 5th March.

It's a pity that the court didn't tell about this visit at their website or calendar although the staff of TeliaSonera tweeted about it.

On Tuesday 17th Daniel goes to Jönköping with Prince Daniel Fellowship program.
Preparing for a Royal Entrepreneurship visit - Science Park Jönköping
 
Daniel visits today Jönköping with Prince Daniel Fellowship Entrepreneurship program. First they go to Bäckadals gymnasium and in the afternoon to Jönköping University. Governor Minoo Akhtarzands is also with Daniel today.
Johan Weigelt, project manager of the program: "Prince Daniel is driven by a tremendous conviction that the will and the courage to start their own business and invest in their ideas can transform Sweden. It shines throughout the project. And all the coaches who participate in the project run by the same vision. This commitment is clearly visible during our school visits, when both Prince and contractors generously contribute their experience and knowledge".

Two girls, who met Daniel, were interviewed. They said that they got very good tips from Daniel. It was fun to meet a prince, exciting and interesting. The other girl said that she thinks that it is great that a royal tours the country and inspires young people and really listens to them. The girls are young entrepreneurs and have a business at the school.

Daniel gave an interview to local radio P4 Jönköping/Sveriges Radio. The reporter said that there is a lot of media who wanted to interview Daniel.
- There is a culture in Sweden that is a bit ugly to fail. We'll try together to change that and create a society that is more encouraging and progressive so that all people should dare to realize their ideas and dreams.
First the prince was in a lecture and then participated in a so-called round-should call where you gather around a table and discuss the topic.
- When we sit in these round-table discussions then it is much easier to ask questions to the students. It gets a little more relaxed, said the prince, whilst giving everyone who has thought up their own a few tips for the future: It is important that we get the feeling that it's not one of those big steps to take. It doesn't need to be so big and doesn't have to be forever. We must dare more and not be so afraid to fail.

Daniel gave an interview to local newspaper Jnytt at the University. He said that they are there to get young people interested in entrepreneurship and to give some tips. One tip is to find a mentor, an experienced person, who has even done some mistakes, you can learn a lot from that person. Daniel said it is great to build a business culture where the employees are enjoying themselves and they do good work together. Daniel knows that the Jönköping county has a good history with entrepreneurship. And he wished good luck to HV71 (an icehockey team).

Interview to local newspaper Jmini. Daniel says that the students made many relevant and important questions to him and the experts. There are many reasons he is so interested in entrepreneurship, one is that entrepreneurship includes that you create something you can sell and in that way build a company which hires people and creates jobs, and makes people develop themselves and their surroundings.

Daniel visited on Monday KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm to meet students at the Student Inc., and for a meeting with assistant professor Karin Bradley, researcher, whose research interests concern sustainability transitions, environmental justice, 'the sharing economy', urban commons, utopian thought, social movements around 'peak-everything', and in general planning, policy, social movements and contestations around sustainable urban development.
Student Incubator - Student Inc. has offices at KTH campus. The venue is open every day, around the clock, all year round. In the meeting room meet each Monday representatives of the various companies which are developed there. Everyone talks about the successes and challenges, and the others help with ideas and share experiences. Daniel was present at the meeting and listened at the students' presentations.
Karin Bradley talked about the fact that, despite improvements in energy efficiency, waste sorting systems, district heating and fuel taxes have not managed to turn our way of living in a sustainable direction. Energy efficiency in one place tend to be eaten up by increased consumption, more gadgets, larger living spaces or longer trips.

During the visit the Case of the Student Inc. got the opportunity to present their ideas and also talk about the challenges and prospects for both themselves and entrepreneurship in general.
- It's great that Prince Daniel wants to come here and see how we work, says the My Klint, Manager of Student Inc.
Some 20 students from the incubated companies were present during the visit. There were also a couple of alumni companies, Greenely and Degoo who had the opportunity to tell about the time as Alumnus and what happened to the company after incubation. Prince Daniel was involved in the discussion and grilled case with questions and concerns and was very impressed with what they accomplished in short time.
- It is incredibly exciting company I have heard, you become eager to be investors or partners for this type of project, he says.
The majority of students present were men.
- It is very important to pay attention to this and have at least as many women as men who represent the typical entrepreneur, said Daniel.

It is again time for young entrepreneurs to seek to Prince Daniel's Fellowship and the mentoring program as part of the project. The program is for two years and is aimed at business leaders and entrepreneurs who are under 40 years of age and have clear ambitions for growth. Within the program, you get an experienced mentor who can help with networking, help to structure and develop the company and act as a sounding board.

Daniel attended today at two meetings, at first at the meeting of the steering group for Prince Daniel's Fellowship and it's entrepreneurial programme. And later today at the Board meeting of Young Enterprise.
 
daniel looks healthy and fit in those shots... His attire flatters him very much;)
 
Daniel met this morning at the Royal Palace secretary general Birgitta Ljung, chairman Karin Mattsson Weijber, and director of communication Max Lauritzson from the Swedish Sports Confederation. No photos of that meeting yet.

In the afternoon he visited Vinnova, which manages programmes for strengthening Sweden’s innovativeness.
At his visit Daniel got acquainted with Giraff - a mobile robot that helps older people in contact with the outside world

- It is challenging and tough to run a business. It is never as fast as one hoped. But I have no such experience that makes me regret that I was an entrepreneur, said Prince Daniel to SvD Näringsliv newspaper, just before he went to present the award.
Prince Daniel, who himself started his own business in 1997, also gave some advice on the way.
- I think you should do things that you are passionate about. It is important to complement oneself and that one does not choose colleagues that are too similar. I disagree with those who say that you should not run a business with your friends. Running a company is about economic vulnerability and risk, and to share the risk, you want to do it with people you trust, said Prince Daniel.
What is an achievement for you in this context?
- To become this year's winner must outperform both corporate and external expectations and do something extraordinary. Then it can also be in the small, those who dare to start a business I think this is a feat in itself, we need to get more people who dare, said Prince Daniel.

The purpose of Prince Daniel's visit was to inspire students to entrepreneurship. With the stage were Leo Razzak as moderator, Filip Tysander, the founder of Daniel Wellington, Sofie Stenmark, one of two founders of Yollibox and Per Mårs who has developed Marsblades. Together with Prince Daniel they told about their business ideas, motivations, setbacks and successes.
The students who sat in the audience were asked in the beginning of the lecture whether they can see themselves as an entrepreneur in the future. Live poll showed that 92% of the audience answered yes to that question.

Daniel gave interview to Sveriges Radio P4 Jämtland

And to Östersunds-Posten, a video
Daniel said that he doesn't tell how to succeed, but he can give good advice, the most important thing is to dare to invest, be courageous. You can not just walk around and think, nothing happens then. He thinks a mentor is very important, so one can ask for advice. Third tip is to start a business together with someone who complements you.
When the prince started his gym, he made it with people who complemented each other.
- We were also very good friends that worked well together. The initiative was perhaps not as well thought out as it should have been, more "learning by doing". It is important to know is that it often takes much longer than you planned to build a business. Often it costs a little more than you thought, too, he says.
Daniel thinks that the visits to the universities and schools are really fun. Thursday visit it was 14th in order.
- Visits are a great way to keep in touch with the younger generation. When you have passed 40, it is important.

After the lecture about thirty students had round table discussions with the Prince and the other contractors. Two who are satisfied with the day are economics students Cornelia Bergström and Felicia Segerman.
- Great, inspiring and now I'm psyched to continue, says Cornelia Bergström.
- They are the proof, black and white that it is possible to succeed, says Felicia Segerman.
The Prince was satisfied with today's meeting with the students.
- Great, they have been talented and ambitious. It is noticeable that there is great pressure on entrepreneurship here, great interest, he said.

Swedish Young Enterprise has an article about Daniel at their Championships on 11th May.
Daniel said to the 800 Young Enterprise entrepreneurs who had qualified for the championships: "I really love the Young Enterprise. I was here the first time for 4-5 years ago, and there arose a love that grew stronger and stronger"
Daniel is since 2014 a member of the national board of Young Enterprise.
"We know through studies that you who are driving the Young Enterprise companies increasingly start real businesses later in life, especially girls, I think this is great fun. Then those who have not started businesses have it easier to get a job, it's something special", said Daniel.

Today Daniel plays at the Pro am in Nordea Masters with the swedish professional golfer Henrik Stenson. They start at 13.00.
Henrik Stenson:
- It will be fun to play with Prince Daniel. There will be a new acquaintance. I have not met him before but we had little contact after my season in 2013 when he approached me and congratulated for this success. It was fun. I understood then that he is a bit interested in golf.
You intend to show Prince Daniel who is the king on the course ...?
- Well, if I don't succeed with it so maybe it looks bad .. (by thinking about the competition starting tomorrow).
