Association of Trade Partners Sweden awards the 2021 scholarship with an amount of SEK 90,000. This is distributed to four driven member companies, all of which have a focus on further education, as an investment in their continued future.
“In this time of adjustment, further education is extremely important and probably the entrepreneur’s sharpest weapon for being at the forefront. Today, I am both proud and grateful that our foundation and fund only gets stronger each year and that we thereby have the opportunity to give a positive boost along the way. It’s definitely my best day at work”, says Helena Waker, CEO of Trade Partners Sweden and Stockholm Fashion District, in a comment.
The scholarships were awarded in connection with Trade Partners Sweden’s digital autumn meeting at IMA on 18 November. Read more about the scholarship holders below.
