Go Business

Our Programs

We believe that this world becomes a more wonderful place if more people can work with their passion and the ideas they truly care about. We know that creativity and entrepreneurship drive growth. That’s why our goal is to support local entrepreneurs in daring to invest in their businesses, so that they in turn contribute to creating an attractive region here in northern Sweden. We offer programs for those who are in the early stages of starting a business, for those running their business part-time, and for those working full-time with their company. In addition to our programs, we offer Mindset, a digital meeting place for collaboration across industries – designed for established creators and/or cultural producers.

What do you get when you join Go Business?

Grow as an entrepreneur

Being an entrepreneur is a lifestyle, regardless of your industry or type of business. We aim to create sustainable entrepreneurs by fostering a deep understanding and knowledge of what it means to be an entrepreneur today. That’s why we work on both an individual and group level, expecting you as an entrepreneur to actively participate, take responsibility for your development, and share challenges, ideas, and feedback with others.

Individual business coaching

You’ll receive one-on-one coaching sessions with a business developer who challenges, guides, and helps you move forward. These sessions are based on an action plan that we create at the start and continue to develop together throughout the program. During lectures and workshops, you’ll gain various tools that you can apply and discuss with your business developer.

Shared development

In daily life, our social circles often consist of friends, acquaintances, or like-minded individuals we turn to for advice and support. At Go Business, the idea is that your group of entrepreneurs will serve a similar purpose. A diverse mix of individuals with different backgrounds supports and advises one another to solve problems and develop their businesses. Building a strong and inspiring community in the northern region is one of our goals, as we know much of your individual growth happens through interaction with other entrepreneurs.

Collaboration with industry experts

Connecting with the regional business community and learning from entrepreneurs who have both succeeded and failed in their ventures are essential parts of Go Business. We host lectures and workshops with consultants and inspiring figures who share their expertise and personal growth journeys. The Incubator Program concludes with Level Up, where you’ll receive feedback from an external expert panel and gain fresh perspectives on the future of your business.
