Sweden's strongest and most interesting conference where you learn from other intrapreneurs is The Innovation Pioneers Summit. It was founded in the need of innovation pioneers in incumbent companies — Intrapreneurs. Most of the intrapreneurs I have worked with in the last 16 years have in some way been active in this network and attended this summit.  This made us at @ principles of Intrapreneurial Capital extra proud to have a half-day workshop in Intrapreneurial Capital with a secret guest. We attend the stage with megastars like Skanska, Pollen, Volvo Group, CGI, and SUPERLAB. If you are thinking about how to turn a turbulent business environment into a growth opportunity, YOU MUST attend this two-day interactive summit. See you at Skanska in Stockholm on November 20th-21st:  https://lnkd.in/dn4QPeif #innovation #innovatationpioneers #intrapreneurialcapital Markus Lundströmöm Stefan Moritz Jan Sundberg Jonas Almeling Anne Wolf Annelie Gullström Henrik von Sydow Trond Bugge Niklas Huss Linda Wakeham Hanna Moisander Vincent Weir David H.

Superlab had the pleasure of being the designers for Castellum's new office, working closely with their talented project team. Through workshops, studies, and analyses, we created a workspace that is not only inviting and inspiring but also meets the needs of all employees—regardless of their role or reason for choosing to come to the office. The result is an environment that draws employees back and supports them in their work, whether for creative collaboration or focused individual tasks. Thank you to Castellum for your trust! —head over and vote! https://lnkd.in/d3uYPeEd

👉 Is the Scandinavian design and furniture fair scene dead? 👈 Scandinavia's competition for dominance in the furniture fair scene is intensifying as Stockholm Furniture Fair and 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen gear up for 2025. For many years Stockholm Furniture Fair has been the leader, known for its large-scale exhibitions that attract global brands and set trends in Nordic design. The strength was its ability to draw a large number of visitors and participants, offering a vast professional network. However, the cost of exhibiting has become a growing concern, with high booth fees, the challenge of constructing temporary spaces and and country in a deep recession. Beyond the financial strain, there's a significant environmental impact, from materials used to build stands to the waste generated during the event. For companies striving to improve their sustainability efforts, this approach conflicts with their future goals. The traditional trade fair model feels increasingly outdated and out of sync with today's global challenges—a trend that has become even more apparent in recent years, especially since the pandemic. Another drawback of Stockholm's event is its timing — it takes place in February, the coldest week of the year (Week 6) compared to other fairs. The harsh winter weather limits outdoor activities and dampens the overall experience. In contrast, 3 Days of Design held in summer month of June in Copenhagen, offers a intimate, international outdoor party experience. Focused on smaller exhibits and more permanent showrooms which is perceived as more sustainable. It provides visitors with a personal, hands-on networking atmosphere and a more down to earth inviting atmosphere. However, the timing of next year’s event falls during the Swedish holiday Midsommar which doesn't feel so well thought out. It means they will likely lose a significant number (if not all) of the Swedish guests, manufacturers and Swedish staff that works at the Danish companies, as many will be home celebrating their favorite holiday. Next year will be incredibly exciting to watch unfold. Will Stockholm Furniture Fair finally step up, make the necessary changes, and get things right what the market and manufacturers are looking for? And will the organization behind 3 Days move forward without its Swedish audience and manufacturers and lose a large part of their Scandinavian market??
