"There was never a master plan for S8nations. It started as a grass roots movement in Denmark during my research on my book when the CEO of Novo Nordisk thought the story was compelling enough to justify a movement. Since then, S8nations somehow became combustible, attracting a growing number of talented and enthusiastic supporters across a wide spectrum of generations and nations."

Simon Gehrmann

"S8nations offers a new perspective contrary to the power and size-driven world of politics we are experiencing every day. The S8 countries provide an excellent basis for entrepreneurial activities and it is therefore very interesting and rewarding to work on financial products in this context."

Agnetha Pruim

"S8nations inspires me in so many different ways and gives me the opportunity to get insights in many different work fields."
