About KTH Entrepreneurship Lab
KTH Entrepreneurship Lab is a new research laboratory promoting an interdisciplinary research culture that brings together diverse areas of interest and inquiry.
About Us
The KTH Entrepreneurship Lab is a newly established research laboratory within the Department of Industrial Economics and Management (INDEK) at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm. It serves as the central hub for research on entrepreneurship across the university, bringing together scholars, students, and collaborators who share an interest in how entrepreneurial activity can transform individuals, organizations, and societies.
What makes the Lab unique is its commitment to interdisciplinarity. Our research does not confine itself to fixed academic boundaries. Instead, we actively draw on perspectives from management, technology, science, medicine, art, music, and design. By doing so, we aim to create a vibrant intellectual environment where unexpected connections can lead to new insights, methods, and innovations.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that entrepreneurship is not only about new ventures or economic growth, but also about enabling people to create value in ways that improve their lives, strengthen their communities, and contribute to sustainable futures. Lab scholars explore entrepreneurship as a force for transformation, whether that means understanding emerging technologies, designing new forms of work, addressing societal challenges, or cultivating creativity across domains.
The Lab operates as a collaborative space. Senior researchers lead projects in close partnership with graduate students, doctoral candidates, and research staff. This structure fosters mentorship, knowledge sharing, and a culture of experimentation. We also engage actively with industry, policymakers, and society at large, ensuring that our research not only advances theory but also contributes to practice.
Through workshops, seminars, joint projects, and open dialogue, the KTH Entrepreneurship Lab seeks to be more than a research unit—it is a community of inquiry and innovation. Our ambition is to position KTH as a leader in entrepreneurship research, recognized for producing rigorous scholarship and for shaping the ideas, practices, and technologies that will define entrepreneurship in the years to come.
