Innovationspiloterna

The innovation pilots were a collaborative project between different universities in 2012-2014. Luleå University of Technology, Lund University of Technology, Jönköping University, Linköping University, Umeå Institute of Design and KTH Royal Institute of Technology participated in the project. In the innovation pilots, we have carried out change work in the business community with innovative methods.

The innovation pilots were carried out between 2012 and 2014 with the aim of.

• Increase the innovation capacity of companies and organizations.
• Implement research results in the business community.
• Reduce the gap between research and education - train change agents.

In the project, we recruited students who had to carry out a change process in different companies. The students were employed by the companies and trained by us in PIEp's latest tools developed in close collaboration with some of Sweden's most innovative companies.

Throughout the project, the students received personal guidance and learned from the experience of our innovation researchers.
