The Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation
The Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation is an independent, non-partisan organization supporting the development of business in Sweden. Founded in 1986, the foundation has its origin in the financial lifework of entrepreneur Karl-Adam Bonnier. For more than 30 years, we have initiated change through constructive dialogue and exchange of knowledge.
“
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.
