The project intends to strengthen the research environment at the Production Technology Centre (PTC) in Trollhättan, through a combination of research and production equipment and research services linked to these equipment investments. The implementation is divided into five development projects based on the specific research areas identified in collaboration with industry. The main target group for the initiative is the manufacturing companies of the sub-region and the overall goal is to catalyse the innovation processes of these small and medium-sized enterprises (SMF). The project will also contribute to strengthening PTC’s profile as a driving force within production technology nationally and internationally.
