Dalarna Science Park talk on Northvolt regional innovation impact
Innovation in the Dalarna region with energy, entrepreneurship, and diversity
For the 31 March 2022 I was invited by Dalarna Science Park to talk about how Northvolt can have an impact on innovation in the region. I shared information about the plans for the announced factory in Kvarnsveden outside Borlänge, Dalarna, as well as other factories in Sweden and Germany.
In the dialogue with the Dalarna Science Park CEO, Angelica Ekholm, we discussed key factors for a successful innovation ecosystem in the region such as renewable energy, sustainable logistics, and openness to diverse talent.
The full video production (in Swedish) is available on YouTube where my part starts at eight minutes (direct link).
Description
Låt dig inspireras av en 30 minuters energiboost. Hur kan vi i Dalarna säkra vår regions framtida innovationer och vad en innovatör i Dalarna kan behöva för att lyckas? Vi kommer att prata om Northvolts beslut om att etablera sig i Borlänge och om Hitachi Energys expansion. Vilka förväntningar har de på Dalarna?
