Bona Postulata Pris: What It Is, Who Won in 2024 and How to Nominate
By Uppgång Editors
Bona Postulata pris is a local business award for companies registered in Uppsala County with strong growth potential. Winners receive mentoring, training and access to a business network rather than flowers or medals. The 2024 edition named ten winners, including Vidilab, Readily, Magstrom, Enaiblers, Altris, Jaco, Nexile, Wool Rebel, RW Motor and proHELIA.
The award has been presented in several documented editions, including 2017 and 2024, and the official site maintains lists for the 2025 and 2026 winners. It is aimed specifically at companies in Uppsala län, the Swedish county around the city of Uppsala. The nomination process runs through the official Bona Postulata site and is set out below.
What Bona Postulata pris is
The name Bona Postulata comes from the Latin phrase for “good conditions”, rendered in Swedish as goda förutsättningar. In Swedish the prize is usually written as Bona Postulatapriset, and the formal title is näringslivspriset Bona Postulata, the Bona Postulata business award. The prize is aimed at companies registered in Uppsala County that show strong growth potential.
According to the official site, winners receive training and mentors rather than flowers or medals, and 13 companies and business organisations in the county stand behind the prize. An announcement from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences dated 6 February 2017 said 17 companies stood behind the prize that year. Mentorship and practical support are the central benefit, and the award looks for companies with a connection to Uppsala län.

What winners receive
According to the official Bona Postulata site, winners receive training, mentorship and access to a business network. The prize deliberately avoids flowers and medals; the organisers describe it as a growth award that gives companies practical support. Mentorship connects winners with experienced business people in the Uppsala region, and training sessions aim to help them scale. Because the benefit is built around support rather than decorative awards, the prize stands apart from many Swedish business prizes.
