Alleima and Uppsala University sign strategic partnership

Uppsala University

Through the partnership with Alleima, the university hopes to find new areas in which they can work together on tackling the challenges associated with the transition to a sustainable society and a circular economy.

“It’s especially stimulating to work close to Swedish basic industry, which is now on a technological journey towards the green transition,” says Charlotte Platzer Björkman, vice-rector at Uppsala University.

Tom Eriksson, Head of Strategic Research at Alleima, is looking forward to strengthening the collaboration.

“The focus of the partnership is on materials science, but we also collaborate with, for example, researchers at the Department of Information Technology and Industrial Technology.”

Fredrik Engelmark, Collaboration Manager at Uppsala University Innovation Partnership Office, and also Business Developer at Big Science Sweden, has a wide contact network in both academia and industry.

“One of my most important tasks is to build relationships, and that is also a significant part of my role in the partnership,” he says. “I will be helping Alleima find the right researchers at the university, and vice versa.”
