4 out of 5 jobs are created by small business owners. They are thus the backbone and foundation of a well-functioning economy. Since our inception in 2015, we at Qred have helped tens of thousands of entrepreneurs create growth in their businesses with the right kind of financing.
We think entrepreneurship and small business deserve more spotlight and research around. That is why we are now establishing the Qred Scholarship. It will be awarded to a paper that deals with and examines entrepreneurship and/or small business entrepreneurship.
Qred's scholarship is awarded to a paper written to highlight and raise issues surrounding entrepreneurship and running small businesses. The scholarship is intended to promote knowledge and innovation for the entrepreneurial industries within which Qred operates.
The scholarship is awarded to the individuals behind a research question that stands out from the crowd, which aims to highlight issues that have not yet been researched and who have chosen an interesting approach.
The scholarship amounts to a value of: 10 000 SEK

With the paper: “The Proliferation of Electric Transport Solutions in Rural Zimbabwe: A Deep Dive into the Role, Challenges and Sustainable Prospects of the Rural Population” in 2023.
“This year's scholarship from Qred is awarded to this paper for several different reasons. The paper addresses the acute shortage of accessible and reliable transportation infrastructure in rural Zimbabwe, which particularly affects women's livelihood opportunities and economic participation. Alva and Fanny present innovative solutions through the introduction of electric transport options, which not only increase accessibility but also promote sustainable development. Finally, the paper offers concrete insights and recommendations to support the implementation of these solutions into practice, making it both relevant and enforceable. With its combination of research, innovation and practical focus, this paper deserves the recognition and support of us at Qred. We are therefore awarding this year's thesis scholarship to Fanny Söderling and Alva Jansson!” - Qred's Jury
With the essay: “How can risk factors for burnout be addressed in the entrepreneurial sector” in 2022.
“This year's grant from Qred is awarded to a paper that touches on a topic that we at Qred take very seriously, burnout. It is common for entrepreneurs to take on a high workload and the risk of burnout is particularly high in this group of people. The paper in question maps out the most effective management mechanisms for burnout, and how these can be avoided without affecting the progress of new innovation. The paper presents qualitative interviews with both successful entrepreneurs and individuals with fatigue syndrome. We see this as an instructive essay that is significant for the well-being of entrepreneurs in the industry. We are therefore proud to award this year's scholarship to Jesper Larsson and Camilla Hietanen.” - Qred jury

“This year's grant from Qred is awarded to a paper that concerns a highly topical issue in a highly relevant industry. With her sharp challenge to the climate impact of the construction industry, she raises research questions that make us burn even more for the subject. Like Qred, the essay writer knows how important climate is and isn't content with how it looks today. She questions, challenges and concretizes ways in which recycling and recycling are not sustainable. It is precisely these kinds of questions that the scholarship was instituted to answer. It is with this fervor and her important questions that we proudly award this year's scholarship to Johanna Lagerlund. “- Qred's Jury
