Syntronic’s CEO Björn Jansson wins Regional Entrepreneur of the Year Award in Sweden

Björn Jansson, Founder and CEO of Syntronic Group, has been awarded the title of Regional Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 for the Northern region in Sweden. This accomplishment places him as a finalist in the upcoming finals, vying for the Entrepreneur Of The Year title on the national stage and, as a possible subsequent step, for the World Entrepreneur Of The Year title internationally.

EY Entrepreneur Of The Year is a global recognition program that celebrates the achievements of outstanding entrepreneurs who contribute to economic growth worldwide. Organized by EY in over 60 countries, the award aims to spotlight entrepreneurs, foster entrepreneurial interest, and inspire the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. In Sweden, where the regional finals were held today, an independent jury selected Syntronic’s Founder and CEO Björn Jansson as the winner for the Northern region.

"I’m honoured to receive this recognition, which I view as a testament to the incredible work of the entire Syntronic team. We have always been dedicated to innovation and excellence in engineering, and this award reaffirms our commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology. I'm excited to represent our region in the national finals and to talk about what Syntronic and our team can achieve through entrepreneurship,” Björn Jansson comments.

At the up-coming national finals in Stockholm, a jury will ask questions to the participating entrepreneurs about their businesses. The entrepreneur who triumphs in the national finals will have the honour of representing Sweden at the global stage at the World Entrepreneur of the Year finals in Monaco.
