Study visits will have an activity of 2 hours to three different test beds

1. Hybrit is a demonstration plant, where steel is produced without coal, by using hydrogen produced with fossil-free electricity. The project will facilitate the transition from fossil-based steel production to a fossil-free one, with the aim of enabling SSAB to introduce fossil-free steel to the market already in 2026. Fossil-free steel will be key to downstream manufacturers’ sourcing of fossil-free, climate-neutral and recyclable input material.

2. ICE is a testbed focusing on digitalisation and IT infrastructure. The ICE center coordinates national research projects as well as the testing and development of all features in the technology stack; the infrastructure and building of data centers, edge and cloud applications, IT architecture and machine learning. ICE’s mission is to put Sweden at the forefront in the area of effective data center solutions, edge computing, cloud applications, and data analysis.

3. The test bed for 5 G is situated at the LTU (Luleå University of Technology) where a lot of research and development focuses on how different actors can benefit from the new technology and work with 6G is ongoing. LTU is investing heavily in AI and also has a drone lab. The project will work with pilot demonstrations of 5G-connected drones in a mining environment, innovative use of modern AI technology, and a hardware and software stack for edge-to-cloud applications. Examples of applications that will be developed include real-time video analysis, autonomous navigation, time-synchronised seismic sensors, and augmented / virtual reality. Testbed for 5G is a project run by LTU (Luleå University of Technology).
