Qred scholarship

Apply for the Qred Scholarship 2024.

Entrepreneurship creates prosperity!

According to the Danish Ministry of Business, the Danish entrepreneurial environment is strong and offers great opportunities to turn ideas into reality and start your own business.

New companies not only contribute to a dynamic and innovative business community. They also help create new jobs. Yet Denmark is one of the countries in the EU with the fewest self-employed.

With the Qred Scholarship, we want to create a greater focus on entrepreneurship in Denmark.

Previous winners

2023
Sweden
Title: Spreading electric transportation solutions in rural Zimbabwe: An in-depth study of the role of the population, challenges and sustainable future prospects.

This year's winning entry highlighted the acute lack of accessible and reliable infrastructure in rural areas of Zimbabwe, as well as the impact this has on women's ability to become self-sufficient.

The assignment offered concrete insights and an innovative solution to introduce electric alternative transportation, which would not only increase accessibility, but also be sustainable and durable.

This year's winners, Fanny Söderling and Alva Jansson, therefore fully deserved to win this year's Qred scholarship.

2022:
Holland
Title: Parasitic agglomerations: Informal competition in rural areas of developing countries.



This year's winner of the Qred scholarship chose to focus on the challenges faced by entrepreneurs in developing countries at a time when innovation is on the agenda in prosperous countries.

The assignment examines the impact of agglomeration economies on innovation among small and medium-sized enterprises in 23 developing countries, and aims to help entrepreneurs navigate this complex environment.

We are therefore proud to award this year's Qeld scholarship to Albert Waterman.

2021:
Sweden
Title: Recycling of concrete in the construction industry


This year's winner of the Qred scholarship wrote his final thesis on a topic that is highly topical, and especially within the construction industry.

With a sharply challenging angle on the construction industry's impact on the environment, some highly relevant criticisms were raised about the current level of recycling, which unfortunately has room for great improvement.

The task offered just such a focus and critical eyes as we wanted to lift with this competition.

We are therefore proud to award this year's Qred scholarship to Johanna Lagerlund.
