I am convinced that we have all the means and knowledge available to significantly increase the quality of learning experience and provide access to education to everybody globally.I have co-founded numerous NGO’s and companies for education development. The latest ones:In 2016 co-founded the Nordic EdTech Forum "N8" NordicEdTechForum.org which brings together founders of education innovation organisations and companies from across 8 Northern European countries. The aim of the organisation is to enable peer-to-peer learning between founders of such organisations and improving education development in Northern Europe.The most recent co-founded company is DreamApply.com Student Admission Platform (est. 2011).
