Having spent yesterday at the Techarenan I am amazed how much the Swedish innovation ecosystem has evolved during the past 20 years 😀 When I started to build our innovation support more than 20 years ago I dreamed about what we today see happening, so many players with the aim to enable the growth, so many international contacts and so many experienced entrepreneurs and investors creating value over and over again. Universities play a crucial role in the innovation ecosystem and we, too, need to lean in and innovate on ourselves. I am therefor happy to announce that to create even better opportunities for companies founded at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, KTH Innovation is now opening up for increased collaboration with more actors. "Different companies have different needs. We see a great benefit in being able to find more good matches to create the very best conditions for KTH companies to succeed," says Lisa Ericsson, Head of KTH Innovation. In connection with this new strategic direction, the exclusive partnership with Stockholm Innovation and Growth, Sting, which has existed since 2004, is concluded. Please reach out if you want to connect with us. I will be at Techarenan in our joint booth together with SU Innovation AB and KI Innovations AB or come listen to our panel at Bright Stage at 11:45-12:15 where we talk more on the topic of the role of universities in the ecosystem 😀 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dgVYPVtj #KTHInnovation #ItAllStartsHere #sthlmtech

Join us in reflecting on the transformative discussions held at the Sciencepreneurs Forum during the SPRIND Sciencepreneurship Symposium at #ScienceSummit23! The expert panel, featuring Allison Duettmann from the Foresight Institute, Darja Isaakson from Vinnova, Mario Brandenburg from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany, and Frank Buchholz from Technische Universität Dresden, delved into the pivotal role of an entrepreneurial mindset in policymaking and its profound impact on nurturing a supportive ecosystem for #sciencepreneurship. The panelists explored effective policies that catalyse cultural shifts, making sciencepreneurship more attractive, sustainable, and impactful. 👉 For instance, policies that condition funding on ambitious goals incentivise researchers and entrepreneurs to pursue high-impact endeavours. Moreover, agile policies, responsive to the dynamic nature of sciencepreneurship, can reduce bureaucratic hurdles, expediting research proposal evaluation and funding approval, thus accelerating innovative ideas to fruition. 🎥 To delve deeper into policies fostering innovation, diversity, and collaboration, watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/dZ_9ZX4e Thank you to our main partner, SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen, who cohosted the event and to Gabriele Heinzel for capturing the essence of the discussions through graphic recordings.

🚀 A recent presentation to the National Science Board (NSB) highlighted the shift in U.S. S&E research: federal funding forms the foundation, but business investments now dominate, focusing on experimental development for near-term commercial benefits. 💡 This shift towards industry-driven innovation underscores the need for robust partnerships between academia and business to maintain U.S. leadership in critical technologies. 🔗 FirstIgnite’s software bridges the gap between institutional research and industry advancements, fostering partnerships that drive innovation, enhance research, and access new funding sources. 📚 Read the full presentation – link in bio! #FirstIgnite #Innovation #Research #Partnerships #STEM #Technology

Now that we've landed safely on UK soil, I wanted to reflect on my time spent last week in San Diego at the Lab Facilities Summit West. It's not often that I get to head on-site and meet with speakers, sponsors, and attendees and see the result of all our preparation, so when I do, I never take it for granted. I really enjoyed meeting with #LabOperations experts, both at the lab tour and at the summit. It was a pleasure to hear our attendees' passion, enthusiasm, and genuine excitement when debating and discussing how to advance their #labfacilities strategies. However, it wasn't all work and no play! I've put together the following video as a peek into what Emily Donohoe, Simon C Gibbs, and I got up to in our time in SoCal. Of course, my highlight was seeing the pandas at San Diego Zoo... I wanted to give a special mention to our expert speakers who not only presented and facilitated discussions onsite but played a huge part in shaping the agenda and contributing to pre-event and onsite content: Partha Krishnan Ariana Palencia (Greene) Marilyn Sanchez Pruthvi Shah Jeyakavitha Arulprakasam Jayson Bernstein Nick Armstrong Christine Gapuz Michael Cross Melissa Gutierrez, CFM Greg Lundell Tamanna Talukder, MS, MA, MB (ASCP)CM, CGMBS Mark John Brassard Florian Ammann-Teuscher Rami Doueiri Steven Heffner Jennifer Watts Carl Patterson, MS, SSGB, SSBB Stephanie DeLuca, AIA LEED AP Nicole Rose Anthony N.
