Yesterday, IPercept had the opportunity to participate in an important panel discussion hosted by the Industrial Council and the Committee on Industry and Trade. The event brought together leaders from across Sweden’s industrial and innovation landscape to share perspectives on the upcoming Research and Innovation (FoI) proposition.

Our Founder and CEO, Karoly Szipka, joined the panel, which included:

• Eva Petursson, Head of Strategic R&D, SSAB
• Björn Ekelund, Corporate Research Director, Ericsson
• Mikael Hannus, Senior VP Group Innovation & R&D, Stora Enso
• Jenny Greberg, VP Technology, LKAB
• Anna Sandström, Senior Director Science Policy and Relations Europe, AstraZeneca
• Karoly Szipka, Founder and CEO, IPercept

The discussion, moderated by Maria Rosendahl, focused on key priorities for the next FoI proposition, including increased government investment, needs-driven research, industry-led innovation programs, a strong research sector, and better access for companies to EU-level initiatives.

We’re proud to contribute to this important conversation and grateful to be part of a tech ecosystem that actively supports industrial innovation.

A special thanks to Teresa Jonek and Maria Rosendahl from Teknikföretagen for the invitation and opportunity.
