How can research in digitalisation and AI create real value for companies and industry?
In connection with IEEE ETFA 2026 in Västerås, we invite you to join our open forum for conversations, ideas and new perspectives on applied research in digitalisation and AI.
☕ Drop by for a coffee and an inspiring conversation!
The 9th of september between 13.00-15.00, You’ll find us at Västerås Congress, in Room 102, Notudden, 1st floor.
Meet our researchers, colleagues and industrial PhD students for open discussions about research, industry challenges and how new knowledge can be turned into practical solutions.
Perhaps you have an idea or challenge that research could help take further?
We would love to explore questions such as:
- How can we connect research more closely to the real needs of companies and industry?
- How can small and medium-sized enterprises benefit from research results?
- How can digitalisation and AI help create the next generation of sustainable and smart products, services and processes?
- What ideas, needs and challenges should we bring into our research projects?
There are many perspectives, possibilities and exciting questions to explore – and your experience and ideas are an important part of the conversation.
No presentations. No fixed agenda. Just an open space for curiosity, ideas and dialogue.
Welcome! Grab a coffee and meet our researchers and industrial PhD students, and join the conversation about what comes next.
