Nordic Battery Thursdays 2023 – Webseries #1

Welcome to the 2023 webinar series dedicated to Nordic collaboration and opportunities in a booming battery industry

Webseries #1: Talent Challenge – Nordic solutions and approaches
Thursday, February 9, 2022 | 11:00–12:00 CET.

The global battery industry is on a very strong growth path, and this is creating both big opportunities – but also challenges. One of the challenges the global battery industry is faced with, is acquiring the necessary talent and competence. In practice this may be:

  • There is not enough competent workforce, both blue and white collar, to match the requirements coming from the industry
  • Educational programs are not developed to fully match the current and future needs
  • Attracting talents to new locations and countries is not efficient enough

The panel will discuss:

  • General aspects of talent development and attraction
  • Growing demands of companies both in competence and volume
  • Challenges om which the industry is faced with, when big investments are realized, especially from a regional angle.

The panel will not only cover the challenge but rather how this challenge is faced by describing and discussing approaches and solutions to it. This emphasizes the strengths of the Nordics, solving the challenges!

 

Panelists:
Mikko Valtee, Manager Electrification Technologies and Machinery Systems, Sandvik Tampere Finland
Ulla Lassi, Professor, Head of Research unit of sustainable Chemistry, University of Oulu Finland
Joel Görsch, Investment Advisor Automotive & Cleantech, Business region Göteborg  Sweden
Pål Runde, CEO Battery Norway

Moderation:
Jarkko Vesa, Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland
Ilkka Homanen, Batteries from Helsinki Finland

The 2023 webinar series is planned in cooperation between Business Finland, Business SwedenInnovation Norway, and EBA250 – the industrial development program of the European Battery Alliance driven by EIT InnoEnergy. Participation is free of charge and open to all but registration is required.
