Stockholm School of EntrepreneurshipBox 6501 Contact: Michael Schragger, Coordinator Overview The Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship (SSES) is a joint initiative by; the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE), Karolinska Institute (KI) and the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design (Konstfack), the leading universities in Technology, Economics, Medicine and Design in Stockholm. The goal of SSES is to promote the Stockholm Region as one of the leading innovative and entrepreneurial hot-spots in the world. The overall purpose of SSES is thus to support the development of Stockholm as an economic region for business creation, through scientific research, academic and practitioner education and business creation activities in close collaboration with universities, the business community and public agencies. SSES could be seen as a response to the demand for a more active role for institutions of higher education in industrial and social development (the triple helix model). Actually, the very foundation of SSES is based on the three core values underlying all of our activities.
