SSE Executive Education was born from the Swedish entrepreneurial and innovation spirit

IFL-20015Sufficiently enough for an educational institution, we have a long journey of development from the start until today. Over the years, our mission has been broadened from companies to including the public sector. When IFL merged with SSE Executive Education in 2005, we not only got today's name but also the opportunity for a richer source of research and knowledge. An important and exciting challenge for us has been our customers' journey towards internationalization.

sse-exed-logo-blackToday, SSE Executive Education helps organizations achieve results by developing leaders in the areas of business management as well as innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability and finance. And we can proudly look forward to an exciting future where digitalization and innovation create both challenges and opportunities for even stronger growth.

So now we celebrate 50 years. An honorable age. But after spending the years with both young and more experienced leaders with drive and enthusiasm, we know that age is just a figure. For those who are prepared to change their perspectives and indulge in lifelong learning, the future is always bright.
