In Sweden, many companies have gained the #BigScience supplier's quality stamp by contributing to construction and development of MAX IV Laboratory & European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS) at the home base. Yet, global facilities express clear interest in sourcing more Swedish-made top class #materials, #microelectronics, #energystoragesystems, #datamanagementsolutions, etc.
So how can SMEs navigate the complexity of tenders when approaching their next clients like ITER, CERN, ESO, and others, and what added value awaits those who succeed in landing a deal? Here's a few insights on that from the business panel at the #SwedishBigScienceForum2024 in Lund yesterday:
💡Knowledge boost: Collaboration with top researchers and engineers at the client side allows to absorb new knowledge and skills, building unique competitive advantage for your team.
💡Talent magnet: working with Big Science projects can help to attract and retain top people, passionate about (and capable of) tackling unique challenges and contributing to the global scientific comunity's future success.
💡Staying true to one's core: solving unique problems that come naturally with Big Science inhouse designs can boost curiosity and ambition to go beyond one's main expertise. Partnering with complementary suppliers is key for sustaining focus, efficiency, and delivering excellent results.
💡Navigating the Maze: academia, Big Science Sweden, and Industry Liaison Offices are the industry's fast track to identifying upcoming business opportunities and navigating the complexity of unique requirements and procurement processes in the Big Science world.
What an energizing and educative event! A big thank you to the Big Science Sweden team for creating such an important meeting place and, of course, to everyone I had the pleasure to chat with during the day! Very happy to see so many Skåne-based companies both sharing their good practice on stage as well as listed in the Swedish Big Science suppliers database, which you can explore via link in the comment section below.
