Article Type: News From: Industrial Robot: An International Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2

Sweden is ranked as one the most innovative countries in the world, and Robotdalen is Sweden’s foremost robotics cluster; a successful initiative enabling commercial success of new ideas and research within robotics and automation. Robotdalen arranges the event Robotics Innovation Challenge in Eskilstuna, Sweden, on April 25, 2013, aiming at repeating last year’s success by bringing people from all over the world together for a day about opportunities and challenges for successful commercialization of robot innovations, presenting a number of interesting solutions.

Internationally renowned speakers, presentations of new robot solutions at an innovation catwalk, prize ceremony for the international competition Robotdalen Innovation Award, match-making for the manufacturing industry, and vast possibilities to meet new interesting business associates. These are all components at Sweden’s foremost robotics event Robotics Innovation Challenge.

Robotdalen is Sweden’s one and only robotics cluster and has an impressive track record of initiatives for successful commercialization of new products and companies. Efforts enabling more investments in the manufacturing industry; increased quality of life and independence through new technology in the health- and elderly care sector; improved working environment through autonomous vehicles and service robots, all shows Robotdalen’s width and focus. There is an enormous force of innovation and potential for new solutions, which is the basis for the event Robotics Innovation Challenge.

We want the international robotics sphere to discover the opportunities of co-operating with Robotdalen, when it comes to new robot innovations, says Lennart Karlsson, Internationalization Manager. The Robotics Innovation Challenge presents an excellent opportunity to learn more and meet new valuable business contacts.

The event Robotics Innovation Challenge takes place in Eskilstuna, Sweden, on April 25, 2013. Learn more at: www.robotdalen.se/award (Figure 4).
