From the application
”Njurunda's attractiveness as a place for entrepreneurship is crucial for Njurunda's resilience as a community in a time of uncertainty and economic change. The local entrepreneurs are the economic backbone of the local community. Their perception of Njurunda's attractiveness as a place for entrepreneurship is crucial for their place attachment and thus for decisions regarding the location of entrepreneurship in both bad and good times.”
