Engineering Panel: At what cost? Circularity, innovative materials and electrification

What engineering-specific challenges result from these fast rates of development?

Is electrification really the answer to everything? What would happen if we were wrong and needed to revaluate our processes, even down to their smallest parts? Could open-source approaches be applied to circularity in order to improve upon our shared journey forward?

In the Engineering Panel discussions are held between representatives on stage who will then answer questions from the audience.

Masterclass: Minimise Vulnerability. (In swedish)

Cybersecurity, technology and defence. How do we minimise risks and avoid opening ourselves up to aggression and cyber warfare?

Today many cyberattacks are made possible due to faulty configuration. What do companies, individuals and nation-states need to keep in mind? How can we together strengthen our defences against cyberattacks?

In this Masterclass we are invited to join in and pose questions to the speakers. Participants are invited to discuss the current state of affairs in this area.

Next Level Brains. (In swedish)

How do we make sure that you will reach the next level – how will you become an important part of the way forward? How do we lower the risk of burnout? Mental health issues are on the rise everywhere – how do we halt this development?

Are we enough? Are we working too hard and can other countries help out – with resources, on site or remotely? Is it healthy to always want to work?

Listen to some of our foremost companies on how they meet these challenges and what their current solutions are.

Ingenjörspanelen: Who is Swedish? (English)

Is it reasonable to demand that those working in Sweden should be able to speak Swedish? Should it be required for them to be Swedish citizens?

Today we have engineers who drive taxis. How can we bring their expertise into our companies? Politics and lobbying are important components of solutions. But the companies inclusion work is also an important factor.

Discussions and questions about a topic that today needs more solutions than ever before as the lack of competence is one of our biggest challenges!

Masterclass: Engineers at Voi on how to find impactful solutions to create Cities Made for Living (English)

Gender, Parking and Safety are three of the biggest topics and key areas of concern that arise in Voi’s discussions with the public and with cities. Voi is a believer in walking the walk, not just talking the talk, which means that we are genuinely keen in listening to – and addressing – these pain points.

Anna Richstein will try to help us understand and break down the topics before our engineers will share their work to find impactful solutions to help create real Cities Made for Living. You will also get the opportunity to ask question directly to the engineers.

Olena Cherkashyna on slow zones. Andreea Taylor on forecasting demand and supply. Rahman Amandius and Austin Stout on computer vision.

Masterclass: Building a Data Product: Cross-functional Teams contribute to Turning data into Business Value (English)

The majority of machine learning projects never make it into production. Here we outline how backend developers, frontend developers, data scientists, and designers working cross-functionally can build a data product, and therefore reduce the number of failed machine learning products.

We use will use the example of a predictive maintenance product that uses machine learning.
