Stories of innovation and entrepreneurship

All stories

An education in innovation and entrepreneurship can bring change in an array of areas. An entrepreneurial mindset can be as valuable for nurses or teachers as for students or alumni founding tech startups, and for employees in academia or large private and public organizations.

HVL

Adfectus

Half of the children who are admitted to the hospital do not know why they are there. This is part of the reason why Adfectus was founded. The goal is to create a communication tool that can be used in the treatment of children. The children can make avatars that will illustrates their situation, and throughout their hospital stay the goal is to produce their own book that tells their hospital and treatment story. In the long run the entrepreneurs believe that the tool can also be used in child welfare, in substance abuse care, in asylum reception centers, at health stations and elsewhere.
