New technologies are rapidly reshaping product development, manufacturing and through-life solutions. They are transforming not only what we produce, but how we innovate, collaborate and compete.
This event brings together decision-makers from industry, academia, and funding organisations to explore emerging technologies, upcoming EU opportunities, and new possibilities for collaboration.
The programme will also focus on Swedish and EU priorities in calls and discuss what funders look for in strong proposals. There will also be time for dialogue and Q&A.
