After the summer, IndX has launched an intense autumn program designed to bring its corporate partners and innovative startups even closer together. The season opened with a combined study visit and steering committee meeting at Nira Dynamics and SICK in Linköping, focused on autonomy, innovation, and future collaborations.

Autonomy competence team sets the pace

The first activity was a session with the IndX Autonomy competence team, aimed at strengthening dialogues between large industrial companies and emerging tech players while evaluating startups and scaleups for upcoming digital pitch days and the on-site Product Innovation Day.

During this review meeting, 20 representatives from the partner companies gathered to evaluate 40 potential startups, advancing 20 of them to the next stage.

A platform that connects and creates value

Bringing together such a wide range of decision-makers and specialists from different partner corporations is, in itself, a clear sign of the platform’s impact.

“It’s a true sign of success that we can gather so many key stakeholders who openly share experiences and knowledge—while exploring a smörgåsbord of exciting startups,” says Robin Eriksson, Project Manager for IndX.

Next steps

With the autumn agenda now underway, IndX looks forward to further meetings, deeper dialogues, and new opportunities to spark partnerships between established industry leaders and the technology companies of the future.
