Jacob Ode

As an idea coach and project manager, I work closely with Dalarna University to build bridges between students, researchers, and the business community. The focus is on innovation and entrepreneurship. Through coaching and various activities, I support ideas at different stages and foster collaborations to strengthen the exchange of knowledge between academia and industry.

My experience of running several of my own businesses in different countries has given me a deep understanding of the realities of entrepreneurship and a knack for coaching people from diverse cultural backgrounds. My background in teaching also makes it easy for me to navigate academic environments.

Please contact me if you are affiliated with Dalarna University and would like to develop an idea, explore opportunities in entrepreneurship, or collaborate with the business community.

What gives you energy? Meeting people and supporting their growth.
What is your best advice? Dare to get started, experiment, and bounce ideas off others.
Do you have any hidden talents? I speak Chinese and have worked as both a ski and diving instructor.
