Welcome to:
30 years of Silicon Carbide excellence in Kista – discovery the unique SiC innovation hub and meet with founders and stakeholders.
For more than 30 years, KTH, RISE and the Electrum Laboratory have been at the center of research and development of advanced Power Semiconductor (wide bandgap, WBG) Silicon Carbide technology. State of the art research, innovations and startup companies continuously come out of the SiC hub in Kista, creating real, sustainable impact.
During the event you will learn about the latest developments and possibilities in SiC, discover the role and function of the SiC innovation system in Kista and enjoy the opportunity to network with SiC pioneers, companies and founders.
Some of the topics that will be highlighted:
- Electrum laboratory; more than just a lab
- KTH, the Royal Institute of technology, 50+ doctoral dissertations in SiC and WBG
- RISE, Research Institutes of Sweden; role and function
- The importance of incubators; KTH Innovation & STING - Stockholm Innovation and Growth
- Networks of companies, entrepreneurs, and investors
- PECTA - International collaboration and coordination
- Possibility to connect with the SiC ecosystem founders and stakeholders
NOTE: This event is dedicated to the memory of John Palmour, Wolfspeed.
