GCE NODE og SFI Offshore Mechatronics inviterer til å lære mer om hvordan bedrifter kan lykkes med å bevege seg videre fra tradisjonelle produktorienterte forretningsmodeller.
12:05 Hva kjennetegner transformasjon fra tradisjonelle produktorienterte forretningsmodeller til mer tjeneste- og ytelsesorienterte forretningsmodeller? Hvordan må virksomheter endre interne virksomhetsprosesser, samt deres organisasjonsstruktur og -kultur for å lykkes med overgangen? Presenteres av Handelshøyskolen ved Universitetet i Agder , Professor Tor Helge Aas
12:25 Hvordan kan aktører i tradisjonell industri oppnå legitimitet i sine økosystemer når de lanserer nye tjenesteorienterte forretningsmodeller og smarte tjenester? Presenteres av Handelshøyskolen ved Universitetet i Agder , PhD Stipendiat, Marius Trandheim Kristiansen

The reference group meetings are a great opportunity to disseminate results, to participate in discussions and to get valuable feedback from an industrial perspective.
In addition to dissemination of results, the upcoming reference group meetings have reserved time for discussions regarding spin-off opportunities. This is a bottom-up approach to identify spin-off opportunities. The aim is to surface interesting research topics and important industrial challenges to be solved in new projects.
The SFI Offshore Mechatronics General Assembly will take place on November 11. 13.00-14.00. The meeting will be hosted at UiA, Campus Grimstad, Meetingroom N3 049 Utsikten, I4Helse, UiA Campus Grimstad)
The partners should have received an e-mail calendar invite. If you are a partner and did not receive the invitation get in touch with asle.pedersen@uia.no.

On June 3. (9-11.30 CET), GCE Node in collaboration with WP7 of SFI Offshore Mechatronics invites to a digital seminar/workshop to explore opportunities within Offshore Wind. In the seminar regional companies such as Origo Engineering and Agder Energy will present their activity within the offshore wind market from a technology and investment perspective. Research results from some of the SFI mechatronics workpackages with an emphasis on results with current and future applications in offshore wind will also be presented.
The seminar will be closed with a discussion to identify opportunities for new spin-off projects and transfer of results, technology and knowledge from the centre to solve current and future challenges within offshore wind.
