Our organisation
The Compare Foundation was founded in 2000 in Karlstad and has evolved from a traditional IT cluster to an innovation platform for societal transformation with tech.

We are an independent and neutral actor where people and organisations come together to solve challenges that no actor can tackle alone.
With broad expertise in innovation management, we work regionally, nationally and internationally to connect businesses, the public sector, startups and academia in collaborations that drive innovation.
Our ambition is to provide an inclusive and dynamic platform where new solutions can grow, scale and contribute to the society of the future.
The interim CEO of the Compare Foundation is Charlotte Wäreborn Schultz.
The organisation is subject to public procurement rules.
