🌐 Málaga is rapidly positioning itself as one of Europe’s most attractive tech hub, and international companies are taking notice. As highlighted by Miguel Muñoz Padellano, our director in Spain, the city’s market momentum is a key driver behind new investments like the recently launched Node I at Málaga TechPark. Key points: 🔹 The arrival of imec is acting as a powerful magnet for global players in the semiconductor space. 🔹 International companies are already landing: Kadans’ new centre is generating significant interest in the European market for this type of specialised infrastructure. Judging by current demand, we expect to achieve an occupancy rate of around 40% by the end of 2026.  🔹 A growing ecosystem is forming, where scale-ups and established tech firms can expand their R&D capabilities in a highly dynamic environment.    Here you can read the interview: https://lnkd.in/e9aaFX3d Málaga is no longer just a promising destination—it’s becoming a strategic gateway for international innovation in Europe #DeepTech #Semiconductors #AI #TechTransfer #R&DfacilitiesMalaga #KadansSciencePartner 

"Other conferences also seek to highlight the local collaboration between academia and technology. Source Meridian, led by Mike Hoey, one of the city's most prominent tech entrepreneurs, organized the TECH SPHERE conference in partnership with 360 Health Data. The conference positioned Medellín as a catalyst for AI research in Latin America, bringing together executives, researchers, and professionals to explore practical applications of artificial intelligence."

New inventions don’t always take centuries to appear, most happen within decades of becoming possible. This fascinating article explores how technology, timing, and cross‑disciplinary thinking shape innovation, and why breakthroughs often come down to connecting ideas.

This is how printed electronics have emerged in Norrköping! Read the report on the Printed Electronics Arena and how it began supporting Swedish startups, academia and industries!

Here comes an article about my workplace, the Printed Electronics Arena or PEA for short and how its supporting Swedish startups, academia and industries. Side note, two of my technical photographs ended up in the report ;)

Why Supercomputing Matters for Your Business   Supercomputers are not just for scientists. Danish companies use them for AI model training, energy optimization, risk analysis, logistics simulation, and more. If your workload takes hours or days on a workstation, it could take minutes on a supercomputer. EuroCC Denmark shows you how. Your AI model has been training for 14 hours. Your simulation queue is three days deep. Your team is waiting... 🚀 Now imagine that same workload finishing in minutes. That is what supercomputing makes possible. And it is no longer reserved for particle physicists or climate researchers. Companies across Denmark and Europe are already using supercomputers to solve real business challenges: ✔️ training large-scale AI and machine learning models, ✔️optimising energy systems and reducing costs, ✔️running complex risk analyses in financial services, ✔️simulating logistics, ✔️supply chains, ✔️and manufacturing processes, ✔️and processing massive datasets that simply won’t fit on a workstation. Through EuroHPC, companies can access world-class supercomputing resources, and EuroCC Denmark is here to help you get started. 👉We provide expert guidance at every step: from assessing whether your workload is a good fit, to supporting your first project on a European supercomputer. No PhD required. No lengthy procurement processes. Just real compute power for real business problems. If your workload is hitting a wall, let’s talk, EuroCC Denmark offers these services free of charge.

📍 “Technology is everywhere today. The real advantage lies in the ability to implement it, monetize it, and retain its value locally.” We recommend reading the WNP.PL article covering Sebastian Kulczyk’s remarks during the “Digital Economy: Trends and Investments” debate at the European Economic Congress (Europejski Kongres Gospodarczy) in Katowice. It is an important perspective on where Poland truly stands in the digital transformation process – and why success increasingly depends not only on technology itself, but on capital, courage, and the ability to build companies on our own terms. The article also highlights a key challenge for the startup ecosystem: how to retain talent, competencies, and the value created by Polish companies. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d2M4mpC9

🚀 Good news! Spain launches a new National Deep Tech Strategy to strengthen its technological leadership The Government of Spain will mobilize €8 billion by 2030 to boost Deep Tech technologies such as AI, quantum computing, biotechnology, advanced robotics, semiconductors, and clean energy. The initiative strives to strengthen knowledge transfer and help transform scientific research into innovation, industry, and technological leadership. A strategic step forward to consolidate the Deep Tech ecosystem and advance Europe’s technological autonomy.

**Harnessing Space for AI's Future: A New Frontier in Energy Solutions** As AI's energy consumption escalates, innovative approaches are paramount. Researchers are exploring extraterrestrial environments, as UF engineers send photonic semiconductor chips to the International Space Station. This initiative examines their resilience under extreme conditions, showcasing how space research can inform AI energy solutions on Earth. At ElevenX Capital, we believe these advancements will shape investment strategies in sustainable tech. How can we further leverage space innovation to address AI's future challenges? #investing #innovation #venturecapital #entrepreneurship

#TopInnovativeClusters Stockholm now sits at 32nd globally among the world's Top 100 Innovation Clusters, having climbed 7 places, and ranks 11th by innovation density per resident, placing 3rd in the EU behind only Helsinki and Eindhoven. So who actually contributed to this? On patents, Ericsson alone accounts for 48% of all international (PCT) patent filings in the cluster (2,860 patents over five years), keeping Stockholm anchored in 5G, telecom, and digital communications. The surprise is the runner-up: Huawei is Stockholm's #2 patent filer at 8%, a reflection of its long-standing R&D presence in Kista. Scania rounds out the top three with heavy vehicle innovation. On science, Karolinska Institutet leads with 32% of the cluster's scientific output (6,248 articles), powering life sciences and medical research. KTH Royal Institute of Technology contributes 24% in engineering and applied tech, and Stockholms universitet adds 16% across natural and social sciences. On capital, 1,794 venture capital (VC) deals translate into a 0.76% global share from a metro of just 2.16 million people. The Spotify, Klarna, and Northvolt lineage is no longer anecdotal, but measurable in the flow of deals. And this isn't an isolated hub. 40% of Stockholm's patents are co-invented with partners in Lund, Malmö, Göteborg, and Uppsala. 77% of its scientific articles are co-authored, with top collaborators including Uppsala, London, and Amsterdam. Stockholm sits inside a Nordic and European network, not on its own. Looking forward to GII 2026: with global VC down 4.4% in 2024 and concentrating in US AI megadeals, the question is whether European hubs can hold their per resident innovation density. Stockholm's diversification across telecom, life sciences, advanced technology, and climate tech is its safety net. Ericsson Networks, Ericsson Software, Huawei Network, Huawei Enterprise.
