Dear LIGHTer International News reader
Now that the summer holidays are at the door, it feels very nice that we have been granted financing for SIP LIGHTer until 2022. The good results of the six-year evaluation mean that we continue our operations with the same strength and joy as before.
Together we create larger technology leaps that radically lower weight. We increase our international cooperation. We strengthen our work regarding sustainability even more and develop lightweight solutions that meet all of the UN's 17 global sustainability goals. Here, our chair of the board Bengt Nilsson, CEO Lamera, tells us more about our plans for the future in a short film.
It is a great pleasure to work with you all in SIP LIGHTer. Thank you for another semester!
We wish you a very nice summer!
The SIP LIGHTer Management Team Cecilia Ramberg, Christian Olsson and Lotta Weiblad |
