I have received a conference travel grant from Helge Ax: son Johnson’s Foundation for the HEALTHINF 2020 conference in Malta.
“Helge Axelsson Johnson was born on June 22, 1878, as the second eldest son of Axel Johnson. Axel Johnson was born in Jönköping in 1844 and moved to Stockholm at the age of 18. In 1873 he started an agency and commission business for the import of coal and coke which from 1875 was named A. Johnson & Co, but which he called “the company”. In 1890 he started Rederiaktiebolaget Nordstjernan which he called “the shipping company”.
Helge became a partner in the “company” in 1905 – he had become a board member of the “shipping company” in 1902. In 1913 he left the “company” and then continued as a businessman on his own. Helge was appointed vice-consul by Siam in 1901 and in 1911 appointed consul by Siam.
Helge never married and died July 10, 1941, aged 63 years. Helge’s will stipulated that the entire property, including movables, would be sold and a foundation in his name would be formed.
The purpose of the Helge Ax: son Johnson Foundation is
- to practice charity,
- to support literary and artistic activities,
to promote scientific research and - to support teaching and study activities in the country.
Grants for these purposes are paid once a year around the donor’s birthday on 22 June.” (Source: Helge Ax: son Johnson Foundation)
