Qred's Scholarship
The application for Qred's scholarship VT24 is now open.
More research is needed
4 out of 5 jobs are created by small business owners. They are therefore the backbone and foundation of a well-functioning economy. Since our inception in 2015, Qred has helped tens of thousands of business owners grow their businesses through the right kind of financing.
We believe that entrepreneurship and small business owners deserve more attention and research.
That's why we are now creating the Qred Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded for an assignment that deals with and examines entrepreneurship and/or small business owners.

Jesper Larsson & Camilla Hietanen
2022 - With the thesis: 'How can risk factors for burnout be managed within the entrepreneurial sector?
Motivation
This year's grant from Qred is awarded to an assignment that touches on a topic that we at Qred are serious about, namely burnout. It is common for contractors to undertake a high workload, and the risk of burnout is particularly high among this group of people. The paper maps out the most effective coping mechanisms for burnout and how these can be avoided without affecting the progress of new innovation. The thesis presents qualitative interviews with both successful entrepreneurs and people with fatigue syndrome. We see this as an educational task that is significant for the well-being of entrepreneurs in the industry. That's why we proudly award this year's scholarship to Jesper Larsson and Camilla Hietanen. “- Qred's Jury

Motivation
“This year's grant from Qred is awarded to a thesis that touches on a very relevant topic within a very significant industry. With her sharp challenge of the construction industry's climate impact, she raises a research question that ignites our passion even more for the subject. Just like Qred, the assignment writer understands the importance of the environment and doesn't settle for the status quo. She questions, challenges and concretizes the ways in which reuse and recycling are unsustainable. These are exactly the kinds of questions that the scholarship was established to answer. With this enthusiasm and her important questions, we proudly award this year's scholarship to Johanna Lagerlund.”
