Welcome to SmålandsNavet – sharpen your entrepreneurship with us!

We live in a changing world where many companies in different industries are facing great challenges, but also great opportunities. To meet these, restructuring, renewal and new skills are required.

Do you have questions you want to highlight? Do you want to develop in a specific area? Do you need support with transition? Do you want to gain new perspectives?

SmålandsNavet is an investment in small and medium-sized companies in the rural areas of Småland. Together with us, you can take part in different types of skills development and get in touch with committed researchers and curious students.

SmålandsNavet is funded by the Kamprad Family Foundation.

SmålandsNavet can assist with

• Skills
• Arenas for exchanging experiences with other entrepreneurs
• Dialogue with researchers and students
• Contact with students – they help you and you help them!

Competence development

The School of Business and Economics offers flexible solutions for skills development for you and your employees.

Through the collaboration with SmålandsNavet, in addition to regular training courses for professionals, a series of free digital breakfast meetings, lectures and workshops/seminars are also offered. These opportunities give you the opportunity to exchange experiences with other entrepreneurs and develop your skills.

Contact us at smalandsnavet@lnu.se for more information about upcoming activities.

Within the framework of SmålandsNavet, we regularly organize workshops and seminars around Småland. The idea is to gather companies around interesting issues and share experiences with each other under the leadership of researchers.

Sometimes it can be enough to feel that you are not alone, sometimes you want to share the knowledge and experiences of others and sometimes you need a little replenishment of new perspectives to take a few steps forward.

Let's explore together what we can achieve.

Look at our calendar and sign up for something that seems exciting.

All events are free of charge - you just contribute your time!

Collaborate with our students

Support students and gain new perspectives on your challenges

Did you know that you can offer our students projects to solve challenges in your company?

Many companies have good experiences of letting students carry out concrete projects during their education. This makes the education more relevant and connected to reality, while the companies receive support and suggestions for solutions to concrete problems.

Win-win!

By supporting students in putting their theoretical knowledge into practice, you also gain access to young, curious eyes that can contribute new insights and solutions to your problems and issues. This can be a valuable resource in the challenges you face.

You also have the opportunity to make contacts with potential future employees!

Are you interested in using students as a resource in your company? Please contact us directly via smalandsnavet@lnu.se.
