Fredrika Wessman, Strategic Partnership Manager, Norrsken Foundation
Norrsken has seen with increasing concern the emergence of the corona virus and its impact on society globally. In our regular business, we work to accelerate solutions to societal problems and right now Norrsken has dropped everything to focus entirely on accelerating solutions to the Corona crisis and its aftermath. In 30 hours we mobilized capital, partners and volunteers gathered on the platform Action against corona to help solutions scale faster. This is just the beginning and we firmly believe in working with others who have the same goals.
What do you want to achieve?
Our goal is to enable the great startups, organizations and initiatives that are driving solutions to do so as efficiently as possible to benefit society even faster.
Who are you targeting with your initiative?
Action Against Corona targets startups that need support, companies that want to provide services and the public that want to volunteer. In other words, the initiative aims to bring together all these partners and to make the most of their potential.
What do you offer, specifically?
Action Against Corona offers increased access to capital, partnerships and volunteer hours from, for example, developers. It is also a great opportunity for exposure as the traffic to the platform has been incredibly high just since we launched it last night. We now encourage all good initiatives and solutions as well as companies that want to contribute to register on the site to maximize the positive impact.
