Founder to Founder: After Hours

What can you learn from someone who has spent nearly 30 years building companies from ideas and innovation? In this student-led fireside chat, Hannah Sherman and Hugo Frithiof sit down with Ove Öhman, a serial entrepreneur who has founded and scaled multiple life science and deep tech companies, to explore entrepreneurship, innovation and company-building. Drawing on their own experiences as founders, Hannah and Hugo will lead a conversation about identifying opportunities, solving real-world problems, navigating challenges and turning ideas into ventures. Ove Öhman received Uppsala University's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Award 2026. Who is it for? Open to all Uppsala University students and staff. Whether you're curious about entrepreneurship, exploring an idea of your own or simply interested in innovation, this is an opportunity to learn from experienced and emerging founders alike.
