Limitless Potential: Winner of the Flemingsberg Science Award 2025
Young people in disadvantaged areas often face mental health challenges and a lack of support, which can lead to isolation and destructive choices. Limitless Potential, winner of the Flemingsberg Science Award IDEA 2025, has created a safe space where creativity and social entrepreneurship come together to support youth.
“I saw friends end up in crime and loneliness. Many were struggling without anyone to talk to. I chose to use those experiences as my driving force,” says Jemira Ulungu, founder of Limitless Potential and former student at Södertörn University in Flemingsberg.
The initiative began with the ambition to provide young people with tools and space to express themselves. Through workshops, activities, and collaborations with local schools and organizations such as Drömstart, Limitless Potential has built long-term relationships and created a safe environment for young people to grow. At the same time, youth with greater needs are referred to professional support services such as Bris and BUP.
Limitless Potential uses design, creativity, and social activities as entry points for conversations and support. Small actions can make a big difference – one example is a young man who previously struggled with suicidal thoughts. A spontaneous encounter with the organization marked the beginning of a turning point, and today he is studying to become a Swedish teacher.
“What makes us unique is the combination of mental health, creativity, and social entrepreneurship. We build real connections – not just activities,” says Jemira Ulungu.
Winning the Flemingsberg Science Award means a great deal to Limitless Potential, Jemira explains. Besides offering important recognition, the award shows that the initiative truly makes a difference. In the short term, the organization aims to reach more young people and strengthen partnerships. In the long term, the goal is to create a sustainable model that can be scaled both nationally and internationally, including in Africa.
“We want to continue supporting children and young people, both here at home and abroad. And we’re aiming for the next startup competition at Flemingsberg Science in February,” Jemira Ulungu concludes.
