The Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation

The Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation is an independent, non-partisan organization supporting the development of a dynamic business environment. Founded in 1986, the foundation has its origin in the financial lifework of entrepreneur Karl-Adam Bonnier. 

As an entrepreneur I have witnessed an exciting time in business and finance in Sweden and I’ve been able to realize my entrepreneurial aspirations. That’s why I wanted to create a foundation that will support Swedish enterprise and benefit the country in a broader context.

Our purpose

The Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation supports research and education in business administration and corporate law. Our purpose is to promote the development of a dynamic business environment.

For 40 years, the Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation has created an independent arena for constructive dialogue and exchange of knowledge among decision-makers and thought leaders in business, academia, and the public sector.

KAB Forum, the foundation’s arena for dialogue, focuses on key issues that shape the development of business. We also initiate and fund research projects, produce publications, and run the Karl-Adam Bonniers Foundation Scholarship.
