Strong companies that are highly expert in research and development are a natural part of the development of our study courses and programmes and of the region’s trade and industry. We have a history of working closely and long-term with our strategic partner companies. These collaborations have given us good understanding of what will be required of tomorrow’s business operations. In turn, this knowledge is used to create benefit in all SPARK projects.

Other than our Strategic Partners we have 400+ Industrial partners in our projects.

”Our companies face a situation where you have to strengthen your product- and process development. SPARK’s research environment offers solutions to these challenges and therefore it was a natural step for us to start collaborating. As Strategic Partner Träcentrum acts as an important bridge between the academy and the industry.”

”We can contribute to Jönköping University with our close contacts with business in the GGVV-region. It is important to listen to the needs of GGVV-companies and to recognise the advantages of lifelong learning and business-related research. For us, it is important to acknowledge this, so that we can help the companies to be more efficient through research. It could be about minimising production costs achieving cutting-edge positions."

"Det är viktigt att regionen ständigt utvecklas och att kompetensen ökar över tid. För oss är det därför viktigt att vara med och bidra till att Jönköping med omnejd fortsätter öka i attraktionsvärde när det kommer till att studera, arbeta och bo i regionen. Vi ser samverkan med JTH som en viktig del för att uppnå detta och behålla Husqvarna Groups globala konkurrenskraft".
