We are a non-profit foundation built on the belief that entrepreneurship and technology can be forces for good.
We live in the best of times
Human ingenuity has created a world of abundance. Rapid advances in technology have made things possible that, just a few decades ago, we could not imagine in our wildest dreams.
There’s never been more of us. We’ve never had greater powers to shape our world than we do today.
We live in the worst of times
Our obsession with growth is killing the substrate on which life depends. We are currently overshooting 6 out of 9 planetary boundaries. Species extinction rates are >100x higher than the historical average.
An abundance of feel good distractions have led to an explosion of addiction, obesity and mental health problems. 300 million people worldwide are suffering from depression.
We are building a global ecosystem that gives founders the knowledge, capital and network they need, to make saving the planet their business.
Because if they win, we all win.

Norrsken Launcher embeds deeply with innovators to bring pioneering solutions to market, transforming science and research into successful business ventures.
Our Fixathon is a global hackathon to fix the world’s biggest problems. For 24 hours, hundreds of builders will come together across the globe to harness the power of AI and shape a better future. With access to open data and tools like Lovable, you’ll have everything you need to be part of the solution, by prompting what matters.
Africa is at an inflection point. Never, in the 30-odd years since the mobile telephony era, has technology played a more important role in shaping the continent's future. We need new models and more collaboration to finance the next-generation African innovation. Africa/week s your invitation to join us!
Norrsken Foundation is a founding partner in Cellcolabs, a venture originally set up by investment company Takura. Our vision is to dramatically scale up the production of mesenchymal stem cells, making them available at much lower cost and for a much wider range of treatments than currently.
ABC Labs was created as a direct response to challenges posed by the coronavirus to the Swedish healthcare system. The company, which provides rapidly scalable, state-of-the-art PCR and ELISA testing, was initially built and deployed over seven weeks. It now consistently represents up to 25% of all national testing for Covid-19 with over 2.7 million tests completed.
A week filled with intellectual conversations and meaningful meetings that gathers CEOs, top talents, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and startups under the same roof with the purpose of inspiring everyone to take action and be a driving force for change.
The world needs better role-models. That's why we created the Impact/100. It's an annual ranking of the world's most promising impact startups. It exists to spotlight and make role-models out of the visionary entrepreneurs who are changing the world for the better. Because if they win, we all win.
With global rates of mental health issues like depression, anxiety and addiction remaining high, current treatments are struggling to keep up. We’re proud to launch Norrsken MindPsychedelic Science Initiative. A Swedish non-profit initiative focused on supporting research on psychedelic-assisted treatments.
