Catarina Sahlberg: Big Science trendspotting at BSBF 2024 (video)

Speaking at the Swedish Business Pavilion, Catarina covered a lot of ground in just a few minutes. She emphasised the importance of such a forum in stimulating the initial personal contacts that can lead to business and collaboration. She also talked about how Big Science is driving innovation, knowledge transfer, the potential for Swedish industry, and the need to attract more young people into science and technology.

“When Swedish companies get contracts with the facilities, it brings back money to Sweden. This is great. But more importantly, it brings back knowledge to Sweden. And it helps retain knowledge within Swedish companies.”
