In the episode, you’ll see how the collaboration between Cellufy and Vattenfall evolved– from the initial idea of the “dancing rods” to developing the foam materials and conducting the test trials together. Jowan says: "It was an incredible experience to be part of the filming and to share a behind-the-scenes look at this fantastic collaboration. We hope you enjoy following this journey and watching the episode as much as we did!"

KTH Innovation’s Internationalisation Lead Viktor Olsson is spending the week in South Korea with SKERIC, Sweden Korea Education, Research, and Innovation Collaboration, a network of five Swedish and three Korean universities: Göteborgs universitet, Kungliga Tekniska högskolan, Lunds universitet, Uppsala universitet, Umeå universitet, Korea University / 고려대학교, Pohang University of Science and Technology and Seoul National University. KTH Innovation is coordinating Work Package 3, which focused on research based startups and the exploration of collaborations and business opportunities as well as networking and field trips. All partner universities have startups participating in the program. From KTH, Burak Koyutürk represented Hydroyal, a green hydrogen startup. -     I hope to see the startups building meaningful connections with people and organizations in South Korea, says Viktor Olsson. I hope this could lead to joint projects or business opportunities for the startups from both countries. I also hope to see a deeper understanding of the cultures and ecosystems of both countries. This is the first forum of three. There are two more coming up - one in 2025 and one in 2026. A warm thank you to our Korean colleagues for your hospitality and excellent organization.
