Meet the future with smart specialisation

Next week sees an important event in the calendar – the Packbridge AGM on 23 April. The theme for the afternoon will be Meet the Future with Smart Specialisation – and the intention is to provide an insight into the dynamics and direction of industry in Skåne, with a special focus on the packaging sector.

Of course no AGM can take place without a good description of the past business year. As usual, Per-Stefan Gersbro will provide us with that overview, and the AGM will be followed by four speakers on topics linked to our theme.

Bodil Rosvall Jönssonwill speak first. She is Enterprise Manager and CEO of Business Region Skåne, and her presentation is entitled “Skåne – a region with focus on innovation”.

Representing the industry will be Jan Boberg, vice CEO of Ystad-based Scanfill, which has really begun to gain momentum after a tough initial period. Scanfill, which is owned by Polykemi, has a business concept involving offering cost-effective and sustainable packaging materials, and is a great example of a Swedish company based on innovative knowledge.

Johan Mårtenssonis project manager at Packbridge, and together with entrepreneur Robin Thiberg from Innosensia and Seedfundit, he will give an insight into the opportunities of open innovation and talk about how it is going to rewrite the rules for business.

The event will conclude with a panel discussion.  The AGM will be held in Swedish, but the presentations will be given in English.

The venue is Media Evolution City, Stora Varvsgatan 6 in Malmö. The meeting starts at 15:00 and finishes at 17:00, after which we will be offering refreshments. You are more than welcome to arrive a little early for coffee and networking.

We look forward to seeing you for a very rewarding afternoon!
