Entrepreneurship Lab and PopUp Lab are initiatives to link universities/experts with regions to create regional development. Methods, pedagogy and processes were developed at Uppsala University in 2012, but now the Entrepreneurship Lab is established in several Nordic and Baltic countries, including Estonia and the region Narva / Ida-Viruma.

Entrepreneurship Lab develops real ideas into real plans and innovations and create real development in remote areas, where entrepreneurial activities are scarce. Work methods have partly been developed in collaboration with Uppsala university and Ericsson. It is used towards different needs. In this case, towards accelerating existing SMEs in remote areas or working with Start-Ups.
