The Bridge in Almedalsveckan!
These four sessions all have a strong connection to the work initiated by The Bridge. Be sure to watch them next week, 6-7 June!
See the full program and watch all sessions here!
Please note that the sessions are in Swedish.
As The Bridge is part of developing The Loop, the first building to open in Science Village, this session is especially close to our hearts! In the session “Present from the start – how does the business sector build the research environment where everyone wants to be because everyone is already there?”, Skanska invites to a discussion around what is needed here and now from a business perspective to make Science Village the most attractive research environment in northern Europe.
Tuesday 6 July 15:00 -15:45

From producing energy to saving energy. Why doesn’t saving get more public support when it comes to our natural resources?
Drinking water is a rare commodity in big parts of the world. To reduce resource consumption by saving water should be encouraged, both locally and globally. So why is that not the case?
The scientific and technical solutions to better make use of the water resources on earth exist. But we all need to do it. Inspired by NASA, Orbital Systems has developed Orbital Shower, the first circular shower in the world. It saves up to 90% of the water and 80% of the energy – without compromising the experience. In the long run, it can change how we use water in the world. But how can the solution be applied to other areas to save the world’s resources?

Research and innovation within the Life science field is important to all of us – something that we have become very aware of during the Covid-19 pandemic. How do we create the right conditions for life science companies to grow to reach patients with new methods and pharmaceuticals?
Right preconditions in the Life Science sector allow companies to grow and innovations to reach patients. More business angels, listed companies and specialized venture capital funds improve the development opportunities. The number of listed companies increased during 2020, but the growth journey can still be shaky after you enter the stock market.
