EY Entrepreneur Of The Year

Recognising those who build

Huge congratulations to Kivra and Stefan Krook – the winner of Sweden’s national EY Entrepreneur Of The Year final – and best of luck at the international final in Monaco 🍀

Moments like these matter.

They highlight role models.
They celebrate leadership.
And they inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Why entrepreneurship matters to Women in Tech

At Women in Tech Sweden, we believe entrepreneurship plays a critical role in shaping the future.

Because startups and scaleups are not just building companies –
they are building the products, services, and technologies that define how we live and work.

Which brings us back to an important question:

Who gets the opportunity to build?

Because access to capital, networks, and visibility is still not equal.

And that impacts not only individuals – but the kind of innovation we see in the world.

More perspectives, stronger innovation

Throughout the evening, one thing stood out clearly:

Entrepreneurship thrives on diversity of thought, experience, and perspective.

When more women are part of building and scaling companies:

• new problems are identified
• new solutions are created
• and stronger, more resilient businesses are built

Because innovation doesn’t happen in sameness.
It happens in diversity.

A partnership built over time

The evening also marked something special for us.

EY has been a partner to Women in Tech Sweden for nearly a decade.

Together, we share a commitment to driving change – from leadership and entrepreneurship to creating more inclusive and sustainable tech ecosystems.

Building what comes next

Events like this remind us not only of what has been achieved –
but of what still needs to be done.

Because the future of tech, business, and innovation will be shaped by those who are given the opportunity to build.

So the question is not only who we celebrate today.

But who we make space for tomorrow.
