The business builders of Result, led by CEO Ola Ahlvarsson, have formed a new media group by consolidating their interests in Spray, Passagen, Bidster and SIME within Keynote Media (Nasdaq OMX: KEY). Keynote also operates Nöjesguiden (Sweden’s oldest and largest entertainment magazine), Rodeo (a leading fashion magazine), Sellbranch (a sales house for web and mobile advertising), and a number of entertainment services.

The City of Stockholm has decided to support and work together with SIME as the event contributes to the positioning of Stockholm towards the international ICT community, and therefore strengthens the city as one of the world’s leading ICT region.“SIME correlates well to our ambition in developing Stockholm’s excellent reputation as a leading knowledge region. SIME is a well established meeting place for entrepreneurs and innovators within new media and an initiative which we will support," said Sten Nordin, Mayor of Stockholm.

The first spring edition of SIME simply had to take place in sunny Barcelona. Some quotes and reviews here, here, and here, and a whole lot of videos from the hosting event, Día del Emprendedor, here.
