Listen to the experiences of people just like you that have made the transition, and discuss any questions or concerns that you have. How do you know if you have a good idea? What are the first steps in an entrepreneurial journey? Join us for a fun evening!

Born in Malmö, living in Gothenburg, Ernest Radal went from being an employee to being a co-founder of Mobilearn, a successful social enterprise helping migrants integrate into their new culture. After military service, Ernest decided that he wanted to see the world and started working as a bartender in Canary Islands before studying art in Milano. After meeting his wife, they decided to move to Gothenburg where he took a sales position at Canon before finding his confidence to take the leap into entrepreneurship and started his own ad agency.

This continued to flourish after a meeting with the co-founder of Mobilearn, where they found a gap in the marketplace and started making mobile responsive websites for his clients.

Over the years, Ernest has also been politically involved and also taken part in voluntary work in humanitarian projects which has later lead to shifting from offering responsive websites to an App that makes all the governmental information available in all languages which is now Mobilearn.
