Purpose of Di Gasell:

The purpose of Di Gasell is to support and encourage Swedish businesses and entrepreneurs who dare to bet to grow! The term Gasell was created by American scientist David Birch. A gasell company is a small fast-growing company and as Birch already showed in the 1980s, it is these companies that create most new jobs, unlike the elephants of the economy, which must constantly improve efficiency and often reduce employment. Since 2000, Dagens Industri has appointed the fastest growing companies in each of Sweden’s 21 counties at eight Gasell parties from Malmö in the south to Umeå in the north. Prizes are framed by interviews with entrepreneurs and business profiles, who share their experiences. At the end of the Gasell Festival, Supergasellen is also the company that has grown fastest in Sweden in the last three years.
