AUTOMATION WHAT’S NEXT?

SMÅLAND!

A region in Sweden, unique for its industrial and
entrepreneurial drive?
Småland.
A strong manufacturing industry region on the top of the
global lists that rank cost-effective production.

This is achieved through stimulating a continuous strive for
advanced robotics and reconfigurable systems, long experience and a strong know-how in sectors such as metals, wood and polymer. Collaboration, oh well, a bit of an envy spirit too, is ensuring a business-friendly environment.
Entering a new phase of an emerging, data-driven Industrial Age, vast opportunities for innovation act as a driver for economic development.
A process involving companies, teaching, research institutions and government at multiple levels.
A future that also presents some threats.

And as a part of Sweden’s Smart Industry strategy, the cluster of Automation Småland has been launched to meet this challenge.
