The founder
Charge was founded by Aiman Shaqura who him self came to Norway in 1991 as a refugee, and has since gained more than 15 years of experience as an entrepreneur with great success. He has received several awards for his work and achievements. The current debate in Norway is very much focused on the negative consequences of refugees coming to Norway. Too few people understand how new inhabitants can represent an opportunity to create significant value.
The need for innovation and entrepreneurship is pressing as fossil fuels are becoming less dominant in the world economy. Digitalisation is challenging established businesses. Public sector is forced to become more efficient. Old jobs disappear, and new opportunities open. The need for businesses growth, that can create high value and new jobs, has never been greater.
