GIN2012 roused fervent interest
With five women keynote speakers and six unique “Jam Sessions” at six different host businesses in the region, GIN2012 made an impression in conference history.
Creative meeting at Vreta Kluster
A farmer from Östergötland and a professor from Mexico took part in a lively conversation. At a guess, they’re discussing issues concerning biogas. The place is Vreta Kluster, in the middle of the Östergötland agricultural landscape. It’s time for the Jam Session at GIN2012.
Invest in open innovation at Braviken
Invest in open innovation and your own incubator. That was the advice Holmen, the forestry company, received when GIN2012 participants participated in a Sustainability Jam Session at the Braviken forestry combine.
Metals worth billions at local tip
The mines of the future may be closer than we think. A degree project from Linköping University demonstrates that landfill at the Gärstad waste facility in Linköping contains metals worth SEK 3 billion.
