Innovation manager
Region Blekinge
Karlskrona, Sweden
I work with smart specialisation in Region Blekinge. We work with mission oriented innovation, and focus on two EU missions, Oceans and Climate adaptation.
About me
My organisation
Region Blekinge, promote growth and strategic development in the Blekinge region. We strive to foster a thriving business community by providing support, resources, and networking opportunities to local companies, organisations and citizens.
In our innovation strategy we have 3 main areas:
1. Smart industry - moulding technology and marine technology
2. Tech - digitalisation and smarter societies
3. Missions - with a focus on society's challenge
Both smart industry and tech are large areas that make up significant parts of the regional economy. The third specialisation, Missions, differs from the others in that it is a method for addressing the societal challenges we face at local, regional and global levels. Through this specialisation, Blekinge can be at the forefront and play an active role in working towards a sustainable future.
