Collaboration with RISE for strengthened competitiveness
The School of Business, Economics and Law and RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB have signed a framework agreement regarding collaboration within research, education and innovation. Hopefully, the agreement will contribute to strengthening knowledge and competence development and global competitiveness for both parties, and to realising the Global Goals in Agenda 2030.
In recent times, globalisation has increased with enhanced international competition as a result. Both universities and research institutes are expected to compete globally. Through increased collaboration, their competitiveness increases.
The School's mission is to create and spread knowledge, competence and solutions that benefit everyone; both individuals and society. Education that prepares the School's students for the future, research at a high international level and a close, open and well-thought-out collaboration with business and society make this possible. As a university and an acknowledged attractive partner, the School, together with others, can make a real difference for a sustainable future.
RISE has a mission to strengthen the renewal and competitiveness of the business sector and strives to become an internationally leading research institute. RISE plays an important role in the Swedish research and innovation system, among other things by bringing together actors from different sectors and initiating cross-sector collaborations that stimulate innovation and development of new products, services and processes. Industry-wide collaborations are often a prerequisite for developing business competitiveness. Innovation occurs to an increasing extent at the intersection between different industries and disciplines.
