NEXT Annual Meeting & Innovation Square
NEXT partners got together to hear about emerging results, see how results were being used, discuss ongoing projects as well as pitch and shape new ideas
At the end of the 2nd year of operations of the NEXT Competence Centre, the programme for the Annual Meeting & Innovation Square focused on emerging results as well as the use of results in industrial research & innovation.
90 people attended the NEXT Annual Meeting, 65 in person for the whole event and 25 people online for the Open Session. People were curious and overall there was a pleasant environment for interesting discussions about findings, and ongoing collaborations within this Centre, as well as future opportunities.
Triggering the discussions within the Innovation Square and during breaks were the interesting presentations by researching and company partners. Therefore, special thanks to Ahmet Bahadir Yildiz (Scatterin), Axel Pettersson (LiU), Chen Cai (KTH), Dirk Stiens (Walter Tools), Gabriel Spartacus (Swerim), Greta Lindwall (KTH), Henrik Sieurin (Traton), Henry Boyle (LiU), Ida Borgh (Sandvik Mining), Konstantin Simonov (Swerim), Magnus Colliander (Chalmers), Michael Musi (KTH), Peter Hedström (KTH), Rebecka Kärras (KTH), Ru Peng (LiU), Sandra Barman (RISE), Shun Yu (RISE), Siddhay Maharao (LiU), Sonia Guehairia (KTH), Tao Zhou (KTH) and William Twengström (Excillum) for presentations as well as Alexis Bohlin (GKN) and others for pitches and poster contributions.
