IPercept is bringing together leaders from the industrial startup ecosystem to explore how collaboration between corporations and startups can drive innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in manufacturing.

At IPercept, we are proud to work alongside some of Europe’s most innovative manufacturing companies. As part of Tech Arena 2024, we’re hosting a side event focused on industrial collaboration, titled:

“Why and How Do Large Industrial Corporates Cooperate with Startups?”

This event will bring together voices from across the ecosystem—corporates, startups, and academia—to discuss practical strategies for building successful partnerships.

You’ll hear from industry experts, including:

  • Björn Wikhamn, Professor of Management and Organization, School of Business, Economics and Law, University of Gothenburg
  • Jonas Gustafsson, Senior Venture Collaboration Manager, Scania Group
  • Karin Falck, Senior Innovation Manager, Volvo Group CampX
  • Mats Bengtsson, Director External Partnership Strategy, Volvo Cars
  • …and more

The event is hosted in collaboration with the Accelerate Startup Partnership (ASP) - a program funded by FFI – Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation to accelerate partnerships between Swedish vehicle manufacturers and SMEs in the transport sector.
