Thank you Karlskrona!

Over 40 people signed up for our event, representing a perfect mix of students, companies, municipalities, and academia. We talked about the importance of having meeting platforms for students and companies, marketing city advantages and creating awareness about the tech industry in the region, and much more.
Technology isn’t just about computers and gadgets – it’s about using innovation and creative thinking to change our world. By encouraging future generations to explore careers in IT & Tech, we can guarantee a diverse range of skilled people driving the industry forward, finding solutions to global issues, and improving society. This kind of thriving tech sector will provide more chances for growth and progression, creating an environment where technology is the power source for limitless possibilities. Let’s motivate the youth to aim for IT & Tech roles and create a better tomorrow full of impressive ideas and groundbreaking advancements!
