Join us in Kiruna on 19-20 September on the lunch-to-lunch Space Innovation Forum, as we wrap up the RIT-projects (Rymd för Innovation och Tillväxt), first launched in 2015 and closing in 2023.
We look forward to share valueable insights and inspiring examples of REAL impact of collaboration and innovation spanning 8 years.
– The RIT project has attracted national and international recognition as a benchmark and success story of collaboration and innovation to drive regional development. We have grown the number of space companies in the region fourfold and built nearly twenty industry-academia research partnerships, says Johanna Bergström-Roos, RIT-project leader at LTU Business.
On 19-20 we will take a long, hard look at questions like:
– What we can learn and improve for the future?
– What’s next for the space sector?
– What can other sectors and innovation platforms take away from RIT?
