A new Incubator cohort has started at E-commerce Park
At the end of January, we at E-commerce Park of Scandinavia, welcomed a new cohort to our incubator program. At the same time, we are marking an important milestone. This spring it is exactly 10 years since the very first incubator cohort graduated. A program that has since become a core part of our mission to develop and strengthen Swedish e-commerce.
Over the past ten years, more than 100 companies have gone through our incubator. Many of them have grown from early-stage ideas into established e-commerce businesses with revenues exceeding SEK 100 million. For us, the incubator is not only about growth figures, but about supporting entrepreneurs in building sustainable, long-term and competitive companies.
”We follow the development of the companies that have participated, and at present, two of them generate over SEK 100 million in revenue. Together, the companies that have gone through the incubator generate more than SEK 600 million in revenue”, says Felicia Johansson, Operations Manager at E-commerce Park.
This year’s incubator includes 12 companies, all at different stages of their journey, but united by a strong ambition to grow with e-commerce as a key driver. Throughout the program, we work closely with the companies on business development, e-commerce strategy, marketing, logistics and organization, always with a focus on practical progress and real impact.
“The incubator is something we are very proud of, and this year’s group is exceptionally strong. There is a clear drive, strong ambitions and a lot of curiosity among the participating companies, which creates a great dynamic within the group,” says Sylvia Heuvelman, Head of Incubator at E-commerce Park of Scandinavia.
The program is designed to provide both knowledge and context. In addition to access to leading industry experts, the companies become part of the E-commerce Park community, a network of entrepreneurs, partners and investors who together contribute to shaping the future of commerce.
The incubator is also an important part of strengthening Helsingborg’s position as a key hub for commerce and e-commerce. With strong connections to both established companies and emerging growth businesses, E-commerce Park serves as a meeting place where ideas, expertise and new opportunities can grow.
We look forward to following this year’s companies throughout the spring – while continuing to build on the incubator for the next ten years.
