Another ten entrepreneurs have now been chosen to the Prince Daniel's Fellowship's mentoring program. Together with hand-picked mentors from the business world, entrepreneurs get a unique opportunity to develop their companies.
Jenny Nordlöw, project manager for Prince Daniel's Fellowship, says that the interest in participating in the mentor program has been very great, just as in previous years. There is an extensive mutual need to exchange experiences and take advantage of the unique skills that exist in the business world.
The ten chosen entrepreneurs represent eight companies. In addition to individual meetings with the mentors, company visits, lectures and other activities are arranged that can stimulate the entrepreneurs to the next step in company development.

One of this year's mentees is the ai-company Sana Lab's co-founder and marketing manager Anna Nordell Westling. She sees the mentor program as an opportunity to grow as a person and manager and as a step in the right direction to expand Sana Lab's network.
"It is a unique opportunity to exchange experiences with some of Sweden's most successful entrepreneurs and business leaders during these two years", she says.
At her own suggestion, Anna Nordell Westling has been paired with Hélène Barnekow, CEO of Microsoft Sweden. After a first phase of getting to know each other, they are both happy with the match.
This is the first time that Hélène Barnekow participates in the program and for her, the individual mentorship with Anna Nordell Westling in particular was a big reason behind her choice to say yes. The purpose of promoting young entrepreneurs also attracted.
