Firm Partners with Ashoka to Launch
Innovation Fund
Oliver Wyman announced today a new partnership with Ashoka, the
world’s largest network for social entrepreneurs, to support a new
inclusion fund called Hello Nordics.
This fall, ten social entrepreneurs – eight from Denmark,
Finland, Norway and Sweden and two internationals – will kick off a
large-scale inclusion effort across the Nordic region. The
entrepreneurs each bring their own unique approach to fostering
integration and inclusion. Their common goal: to scale their
solutions to better both social and financial inclusion of
marginalized people in the Nordic region.
The ten entrepreneurs have all been carefully selected based on
their ability to address root causes in a systemic way, by
involving policy makers, lawmakers, communities and target groups.
The participants are Catalysts (NO), Sisters in Business (NO),
Foreningen Nydansker (DK), GAME (DK), Startup Refugees (FI),
Icehearts (FI), Mitt Liv (SE), Idrott Utan Gränser (SE), Welcoming
International (USA/Germany) and ACAF/Winkomun (Spain). (Learn more

Hello Nordics is part of a larger European integration effort
and has been taken to the Nordic region by Ashoka in partnership
with Oliver Wyman and several other organizations including Nordea,
Acando and Vinge. The entrepreneurs enter a six-month accelerator
supported by the partners to significantly scale up their
activities, primarily by entering one or several Nordic countries
outside their origin. Leveraging its expertise in wealth management
and as part of a global ambition to use its core capabilities to
achieve wide-reaching social impact, Oliver Wyman’s Stockholm
office designed the innovation fund that will enable the
entrepreneurs to scale their initiatives.
“Oliver Wyman has been active on a global as well as Nordic
level in promoting inclusion. Developing a fund to support
entrepreneurs scale up their already successful activities was an
easy decision,” says Sean Cory, Nordic Market Leader at Oliver
Wyman and member of the Hello Nordics Advisory Board.
“Ashoka’s ambition is to create positive systemic change in
society. We know that these ten entrepreneurs can create a more
inclusive Nordic region by bringing their concrete and proven
solutions to scale,” said Emma Lindgren, head of Ashoka in Sweden
and part of the Ashoka Nordic team.
About Hello Nordics
Hello Nordics is an accelerator program focused on scaling
proven solutions around social and financial inclusion/integration
across the Nordic region. Hello Nordics seeks to identify leading
social entrepreneurs, provide support to scale impact and broaden
the outreach. Between September 2018 and February 2019, the Hello
Nordics project will support 10 leading social entrepreneurs
focusing on inclusion/integration – eight initiatives from across
the Nordic countries and two global initiatives with plans to
spread to the region. Through the project the participants will get
support to work on their scaling strategy for greater impact. Two
main accelerator modules will include training, mentoring and
workshops led by experts around a number of topics such as
leadership, scaling strategies and impact goals. A final event will
connect the participants with key scaling enablers in the
region.
