Prince Daniel of Sweden has been in the media spotlight in the recent days. There have been suggestions that the prince has become involved helping a personal friend build a factory in his hometown, thus potentially interfering in a political process.
Prince Daniel has always been a promoter of entrepreneurship. After years of being an entrepreneur himself, he wanted to inspire the next generation and started the Prince Daniel Fellowship, a mentoring program for young entrepreneurs. Many of his good friends are active in the business sphere including Håkan Lundstedt, CEO of Synsam. Sysnam is a Swedish manufacturer and seller of glasses, they own 500 stores in the Nordic nations and account for 20% of all sales of glasses in Northern Europe.
