Running UF companies means starting real companies and training your entrepreneurship.

- In the current pandemic situation, it is of the utmost importance that more people are given the opportunity to practice and dare to believe in their own entrepreneurship within the framework of their schooling.

To secure entrepreneurship and growth in Västerbotten, the region needs to stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation to a greater extent.

UF entrepreneurship is more important than ever, says Frida Wimelius, who is regional manager for Young Entrepreneurship in Västerbotten.

Research shows that students who run UF companies during their schooling receive a higher salary, have lower unemployment and to a greater extent are inclined to start and run their own companies later in life.
