Innovation Management Program - News and Updates

In this project, carried out in collaboration with Innovatum Science Park, key professionals from four small and medium-sized enterprises in the seafood sector were given the opportunity to build lasting knowledge and strengthen their capabilities to lead and organize for innovation. The goal was to enhance the potential for new innovative products and enable sustainable value creation for both the companies and society at large.

The project started on September 1, 2023, and this initiative lasted for 10 months.

The funding came from the Swedish Board of Agriculture and was co-financed by the European Union.

The winner of Innovation Leader of the Year 2023 is Magnus Sundström, Head of Research and Innovation at the Swedish Maritime Administration.

With great commitment and high competence, Magnus has gathered both internal and external expertise in the innovation work. He has patiently worked to create an innovation culture at the Swedish Maritime Administration and has been leading the work to develop and implement a well-established innovation strategy and associated innovation processes.

For a long time, Magnus has worked at a strategic level while also creating conditions for value creation at the operational level through the use of new technology and the application of new knowledge.
