Cecilia Bergh about the award:
“Being awarded ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ is a gratifying honor, not only for me, but also for my colleagues, the KI Science Park, and most importantly, for our patients because it acknowledges their health gains. The prize inspires us all! After 25 years of research and clinical practice, it’s time to offer treatment that is accessible to all people who have problems with eating behavior and weight management. Soon anyone will be able to buy a Mandometer (the device that teaches you to eat). It has been demonstrated and emphasizsed time and time again that research provides the foundation for solid entrepreneurship!”
