Ignite Sweden has appointed a new board to take the next step in scaling collaborations between startups and established organizations.
With members representing the entire innovation ecosystem – from startups and large industry to the public sector and regional innovation environments – the board brings strategic leadership that reflects Ignite’s unique role as a national bridge-builder.
“It’s in the interplay between different actors that future solutions are born. With this new board, we gain both strategic vision and close operational insight into the companies we are here to support,” says Sara Hamlin, CEO of Ignite Sweden.
Since autumn 2024, Ignite Sweden has operated as a standalone company within SISP – Swedish Incubators & Science Parks. The formation of an independent board marks an important milestone in the organization’s continued development.
The new board members are:
Ignite Sweden is a national non-profit initiative that has connected more than 1,800 Swedish startups with corporates and public organizations since its launch in 2017. By focusing on concrete needs, perfect timing, and strategic matchmaking, Ignite has enabled more than 700 collaborations – from pilots and customer relationships to long-term partnerships and international expansion.
“Ignite has been absolutely crucial to our startup growth. They helped us find the right collaboration partner at exactly the right stage – without them, we probably wouldn’t be where we are today,” says Isabella Palmgren, co-founder of cleantech company Mimbly and newly appointed board member.
Ignite’s new structure as an independent entity opens up new opportunities to further focus on supporting startups throughout their journey – from their first customer to global growth. With its new board, Ignite is well positioned to meet future challenges and enable even more transformative collaborations.
“We look forward to continuing to build a platform together with the board where sustainable, groundbreaking innovations can move from idea to implementation – faster and smarter,” concludes Sara Hamlin.
