Helping others in business, beyond what is required in contracts and other binding agreements, creates positive value for both organisations and individuals. In a new thesis from Luleå University of Technology, Paying it Forward is analysed in the business to business ,B2B,context.

Researchers at Luleå University of Technology have developed a natural hydrogel that allows for engineering biodegradable wound dressing to protect damaged skin, or 3D-printed artificial body tissue. With the ground-breaking new method, a biodegradable gel can now be produced from seaweed at a fraction of the energy and waste costs, and with increased resource-efficiency. The patent has been bought by Norwegian company Alginor ASA, which is currently building a processing plant for north Atlantic seaweed.

ABB and Luleå University of Technology have signed a collaboration agreement with the aim of strengthening cooperation between the parties. The focus is on research, skills supply, development of education and shared knowledge.
