Here you can take part in activities that will enhance your company at the same time as your company will contribute with its own expertise. In ASSAR\u2019s physical environment, you will be able to look at new technology, new research and new solutions for industry,\u201d says Tobias Bj\u00f6rck, Co-ordinator of ASSAR.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Platform for knowledge exchange<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The arena is part of Gothia Science Park and is a platform for the exchange of knowledge between national and international companies, knowledge nodes and institutes. The initiators of this project include the University of Sk\u00f6vde, Gothia Science Park, IDC West Sweden AB, Volvo Cars and the Volvo Group. The initiators have kept in close contact previously but now they have a physical platform.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dASSAR is to provide more industrial and technological companies with the opportunity to participate in development and research activities. It is important to emphasise that that this venture targets all companies, both large and small, irrespective of technological development. It will facilitate the transfer of knowledge between companies,\u201d according to Tobias Bj\u00f6rck.<\/p>\n<p>The physical development premises for ASSAR Industrial Innovation Arena, which are shared with Balthazar Science Center, are situated in Sk\u00f6vde, a short walk from Sk\u00f6vde Travel Centre. The address is 2B Kavelbrov\u00e4gen.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/idcab-se\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Assar-invigning-009_web-950x480-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22116\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/idcab-se\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Assar-invigning-009_web-950x480-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"950\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/idcab-se\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Assar-invigning-009_web-950x480-1.jpg 950w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/idcab-se\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Assar-invigning-009_web-950x480-1-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/idcab-se\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Assar-invigning-009_web-950x480-1-768x388.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>The initiators\u2019 view of the venture<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201dWith the help of ASSAR, the University of Sk\u00f6vde\u2019s researchers now have an arena for co-production and the utilization of new knowledge together with the manufacturing industry. This two-way exchange of knowledge will help strengthen the University\u2019s industrial educational programmes and research within modelling, simulation, optimisation and knowledge extraction. ASSAR will, therefore, develop both the academy and industry and help bring about that Sweden, even in the future, can be a leading research and industrial nation\u201d says Lars Niklasson, Vice Chancellor of the University of Sk\u00f6vde.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe are happy to be part of this venture. ASSAR will give us the opportunity to connect our plant in Sk\u00f6vde with other companies and with the University of Sk\u00f6vde to share knowledge and experience when it comes to new technology\u201d says Jan Ohlsson, Executive Vice President of Volvo GTO<\/p>\n<p>\u201dAt Volvo Cars we realise that progress demands the participation of all relevant participants. That is why we are focusing on both private and public partnership to enhance a sustainable business environment\u201d says Javier Varela, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing and Logistics at Volvo Cars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThrough ASSAR, the Gothia Science Park will get a strengenthed context for innovation and business development connected to future technological and industrial challenges as well as further development possibilities for start-ups\u201d says Patric Eriksson, Vice President of Gothia Innovation AB.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWith the help of ASSAR Industrial Innovation Arena, the small and medium-sized manufacturing companies will, among other things, get access to world-leading technological and internationally competitive research. There are some challenges for the manufacturing industry but together we will have the prerequisites to transform these challenges into opportunities and get increased competitive strength\u201d says
