Project within joint BTH / Region Blekinge 50 MSEK initiative
Innovation capability is at the core if you want to be able to rapidly adopt to new situations as an
organisation and to constantly improve your operation. This project will support an organisations’
need to address upcoming challenges/problems (external and internal) and how to approach
those challenges by deploying minimum viable prototypes (digital and physical) to explore
solutions to the challenges and problems. The approach will be supported by previously
researched and developed methods and tools and will also deploy new support tools to enhance
efficient innovation capability. The project will have dual use perspective and applications where a)
existing production facilities may benefit from digital twinning (with sensors and connectedness)
and new production technologies (additive manufacturing, new sustainable materials etc.), while b)
(total) defence sector applications will include early stage (digital) scenario planning, needfinding,
ideation and rapid conceptual evaluation of solutions.
Expected outcome is a tailored approach to efficient innovation supported by methods and tools
for deployment into participating companies’ processes including demonstrators of the approach.
Demonstrated capabilities of efficient innovation capabilities via demo applications with
participating companies.
