Dear Big Science Sweden members and friends
We are now back in Sweden after an intensive but so rewarding few days at BSBF 2024 in Trieste. Read more about the event and our successful Business Pavilion in this newsletter.
Västerbotten in northern Sweden is known for its broad range of highly specialised small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Big Science Sweden is now involved in a project to strengthen the region’s innovation capacity with a focus on the Big Science market. Similar projects are under way in other parts of the country, in Västra Götaland and in Skåne. It will be exciting to monitor the progress and see how all these initiatives develop.
Next month, Richard Jacobsson, Swedish physicist at CERN, will be in Uppsala, meeting with interested Swedish high-tech companies at a lunch seminar. Richard is leading a project at CERN that has large investments in new technology planned over the next few years. Before the seminar, there will be an informal lunch with fine networking opportunities. I hope to see many of you there!
Catarina Sahlberg, Director Big Science Sweden

Trieste Most of the Big Science Sweden team attended the recent BSBF 2024 in Trieste, Italy, along with 22 Swedish companies. The Swedish Business Pavilion proved a popular meeting place where our team and participating companies could meet with prospective collaboration and business partners.

Exposure and networking Participation in a Pavilion is a smart way for Swedish companies to increase their exposure at important international Big Science events.

| Make sure your company is in the discussion as soon as research facilities start looking for suppliers. Register your company details in the supplier databases. |
|
 |
| The guide, which is in Swedish, describes the research facilities’ procurement procedures. |
