31 business concepts RAMP up for the big event

Climb the ramp and take your idea to the top.

The RAMP10 audition tour is now completed. Together with the Unionen trade union, Inova has visited Sunne, Kristinehamn, and finally Karlstad and Arvika to see what the region can offer in terms of new commercial and industrial endeavours. In Karlstad, seven business concepts were introduced, and in Arvika five. In total, the tour got to know 31 business ideas, presented by enthusiastic and devoted people with a strong belief in their ideas. The atmosphere was positive, open and encouraging between the participants.

“It’s been immensely inspiring to meet all these committed people,” says Malin Olsson, project co-ordinator for RAMP. Some learned about the RAMP audition just a few days before, and took the chance to turn up and present their ideas. Many of them also made it to the second round.

Out of the original 31, 14 business concepts now remain for the final qualifying round on 21 September in the ‘Egg’ room at Karlstad University.
