Sponsor activities
We use our sponsor activities as a way to combine business-related involvement with a good citizen perspective. The areas we prioritize are youth, education and entrepreneurship.
Current sponsor activities include:
YOUNG ENTERPRISE SWEDEN
Young Enterprise Sweden is a non-profit organization that has been promoting the introduction of enterprise and entrepreneurship in the Swedish education system since 1980. The organization gives high school students the opportunity to test their business skills by letting them run their own companies based on their own business concepts.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Business Challenge is a non-profit organization that teaches university students important concepts through educational outreach projects, including market economics, entrepreneurship, personal and financial success, and business ethics to better themselves and their communities. Each year Business Challenge competitions are held, drawing hundreds of students and business leaders to projects.
THE IK-PROGRAM
Investor and Kunskapsskolan, a holding within Investor's Financial Investments, have jointly established two novel programs called IK (short for Investor and Kunskapsskolan), with the purpose of promoting more students to choose university technology and science programs and also to encourage and support the interest of girls to become managers, innovators or entrepreneurs. Kunskapsskolan opened its first schools in 2000 and is today the leading independent school operator in Sweden. Kunskapsskolan currently operates 23 secondary schools for pupils between the ages of 12 and 16, and nine sixth form schools for 16 to 19 year olds, totaling 10,000 students. Since 2010, Kunskapsskolan also operates two schools in UK.
