An independent academy that builds bridges between science, business and politics

The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) is an independent academy with a mission “...to promote engineering and economic sciences and the advancement of business and industry for the benefit of society.” We bring together leading engineers, economists, researchers, entrepreneurs and leaders in business and the public sector, who contribute generously to IVA’s operations through their intellectual capital and their engagement.

A meeting place for Sweden's future

IVA believes in humanity’s capacity to contribute positively to society through the engineering and economic sciences. We run a number of projects and programmes, produce reports, knowledge bases and policy proposals, and organise open seminars and meetings nationwide. We also recognise and encourage the efforts of others by awarding distinctions and grants.

Prince Daniel's Fellowship

Duration: 2013–

Steering Committee Chair: Jessica Schultz

Honorary Chair: H.R.H. Prince Daniel

Sponsors: The Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation, Carl Bennet, Handelsbanken, Nordea, SEB and Swedbank.

Prince Daniel’s Fellowship is an initiative and mentoring programme run by IVA in close collaboration with H.R.H. Prince Daniel. Since its launch in 2013, Prince Daniel’s Fellowship has worked to strengthen entrepreneurship in Sweden by promoting a culture in which courage, innovation, risk-taking, and learning are encouraged.

The aim is to lower the barriers for young people who dream of building companies and to strengthen both their motivation and their ability to turn ideas into reality. This is achieved through mentoring and a strong network of mentors and inspirers—leading entrepreneurs and business leaders who generously share their experiences. Through their stories and engagement, the programme seeks to celebrate the courage of those who dare to take the leap and to foster a positive perception of entrepreneurship in Sweden.
