Deqa Abukar berättar om att skapa social förändring genom BLING och Bridge i Scandinavian Mind.

Deqa Abukar is the entrepreneur that wants to utilize business and entrepreneurship to make societal change. She is already the founder of BLING, the suburb startup movement with a 49% female member ratio, but the change towards an inclusive trade market in Sweden doesn’t stop there. Her latest project is called Bridge, a project taking place in Kista just north of Stockholm. Kista is sometimes called ”Sweden’s Silicon Valley” but is at the same time located in proximity to many economically and socially deprived areas of Stockholm. As the name suggests, the purpose of Bridge is to build a bridge way between the suburbs and the inner city businesses through trade, industry, meetings, and inspiration — with the intention to reduce entrepreneurial segregation.
