Purpose and goal:
The project´s aim was achieved through the implementation of a national summer program where students worked on thematic innovation cases linked to the mining and mineral value chain. The project´s goals were met by: - Carrying out two innovation cases by four students divided into two teams in 2022
- Bringing the cases closer to market through validation activities with potential new markets - exposing the students as well as the cases to actors in the industry and the innovation system in general Expected results and effects: The program´s results and expected effects were achieved by: - Developing the students´ entrepreneurial abilities through training and with the support of dedicated coaches
- Presenting the mining industry as an attractive alternative career path after graduation
- Implementing collaboration between academia and industry which lowers the threshold for future collaborative activities
- Validating and verifying the market need for business ideas and by doing so preparing the cases for other initiatives downstream in the innovation system (eg incubators / accelerators). Approach and implementation: The current program was:
- Implemented in parallel with three other thematic summer programs in an accelerator-like environment with collaboration across program boundaries.
- Aimed at students at Swedish universities with a higher priority for students who have studied at least three years at relevant programs. - The students were matched in two multidisciplinary teams, each with its own innovation case.
