Daniel has today inaugurated new facilities for seriously ill children at Astrid Lindgren's children's hospital at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge.

The children's regional care department moves into new premises at Karolinska University Hospital in Huddinge. The new premises mean that the hospital can receive more sick children and provide more advanced care. H.R.H. Prince Daniel is there to inaugurate.
Children with diseases of the kidneys, pancreas, intestines, liver, blood and bone marrow come to the Children's Regional Care Department. The department receives patients from all over the country. Many of the children are cared for here before and after their transplant.

- When you are sick, it is so important how you feel around. I think of the incredibly professional staff that I know are here at Huddinge.

I really wish for all the children who are here: that it will go in the right direction and that it will be good. It doesn't always happen that way - but I keep my fingers crossed and wish you all the best.

"I am honoured and grateful to be here today for the inauguration of the Nordic Pavilion, and for having the opportunity to explore La Biennale di Venezia for the first time.

"It was a great honor for me to inaugurate the Nordic pavilion at the Venice Biennale yesterday.
It was especially fun to be part of Swedish Lap-See Lam's big entry on the international art scene with the multi-art work "The Altersea Opera" in the Nordic pavilion.
During the visit to the biennale, I got to see the pavilions of many countries and the works of different artists. They all had one thing in common: they opened their minds.
After a visit of this kind, you see the world in a slightly different way.
In the post here are some mobile photos from the day.

Daniel met today at the Royal Palace Benjamin Sousa, ceo of Företagarna/The Swedish Federation of Business Owners.

The Royal Court about the meeting with Benjamin Dousa
 
Daniel visited yesterday Stockholm University with Prince Daniel's Fellowship's entrepreneurial programme. With him he had entrepreneurs Martin Lorentzon (co-founder of Spotify) and Anna Nordell Westling (co-founder of Sana).
Prince Daniel's Fellowship at its Instagram:
"The conversation touched on driving forces in one's entrepreneurship, finding one's "why" and finding balance in life. Something we take with us from the conversation is that education is an incredibly good springboard and experience before starting a business - but experience is gained through both studies, social life and involvement such as the school union or associations
A round table discussion was held where specially invited students had the opportunity to ask their questions to the Prince and the inspirers."

The Royal Court about the visit to Stockholm University:

The Stockholm University has at its website a good article about Prince Daniel's Fellowship's visit.
Around 150 students listened to Daniel, Martin Lorentzon and Anna Nordell Westling. Daniel hoped that they would get answers to their questions about entrepreneurship and that they will get a little closer to what they want. Having a background as a small business owner, he can say that not everyone will start a company like Spotify right away, but it can be good to start on a smaller scale, start something simpler to get started. With the lecture, Daniel hoped to inspire many young people to become entrepreneurs. It's about those who are interested in entrepreneurship being able to get the opportunity to ask questions and get concrete advice, to hear what it's like to take the step.

 
Is Anna Nordell Westling related to Daniel?
 
Is Anna Nordell Westling related to Daniel?
I don't think so. She is married to Peter Westling and their names haven't been at any articles about Daniel and his relatives. They weren't among the wedding guests either.
 
Daniel visited today the medical technology company Getinge in Solna with the mentees of the Prince Daniel Fellowship.
Prince Daniel's Fellowship's mentoring program gives a number of selected entrepreneurs the opportunity for two years to receive support to develop their company and themselves as entrepreneurs, with the help of a mentor handpicked from the Swedish or international business world. As part of the program, the mentees get to take part in inspirational lectures, networking meetings and accompany them on company visits, the most recent of which was to Getinge.

Getinge's main owner is Carl Bennet, a member of the Steering Group of Prince Daniel's Fellowship.

The Prince Daniel's Fellowship about the visit:
We were given a tour of the production where Getinge manufactures products for operating rooms and intensive care units.
We heard main owner and vice chairman of the board Carl Bennet share his experiences as an entrepreneur, which was very instructive. Carl stressed that you have to love what you do – dig where you stand and deliver where you stand. With patience comes progress. You are not better than your surroundings, and you as an entrepreneur help create this.

Daniel attended this evening the opening of the European Renal Association's kidney meeting at Stockholmsmässan.

Daniel said at his opening specch at the European Renal Association's kidney meeting among other things
"This year marks 60 years since the first kidney transplantation took place in Sweden, at a hospital called Serafimerlasarettet here in Stockholm. The surgery was performed by Professor Curt Franksson, who grew up in a small municipality two hours north of Stockholm, Ockelbo.
And so did I, but 50 years later.
Our shared history, Professor Franksson’s and mine, does not end there.
Forty-five years after Franksson's first transplantation at Serafimerlasarettet, I found myself at the same hospital, on dialysis, waiting for a kidney transplant.
Today, 15 years later, I am standing here, healthy, and happy with my father's kidney.
The gratitude I feel towards those of you who dedicate your lives to improving opportunities for us patients is indescribable."

At the Royal Court's article:
Today Daniel met at the Royal Palace experts and researchers participating the European Renal Association's kidney meeting to discuss new research results in kidney diseases: Professor Rick Johnson (USA), Professor Peter Stenvinkel (Sweden), Professor Roser Torra (Spain), Professor Gabriel Oniscu (Sweden), Professor Rosalinde Masereeuw (Netherlands), Raymond Vanholder (Belgium) and the Royal Court's and Daniel's physician Lars Wennberg (Sweden).

This year's Solbacka course has ended. The course gives people in leading positions from all parts of society the opportunity to build a common level of knowledge, discuss and practice possible scenarios together.
— The course is an important effort to strengthen our total defence and I can only state that in today's society, and with our needs to quickly strengthen the total defense, relationship-building training is more important than it has been in a long time. The invasion of Ukraine is a reminder that we must understand each other and our different roles in order to act quickly and coordinated if the crisis or war comes. We create that together on the Solbacka course, says Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, the Director General of MSB.
At the photo we see the participants, as well as well as the Supreme Commander of the Swedish Armed Forces, general Micael Bydén and the Director General of MSB, Charlotte Petri Gornitzka.
