“We had a very intense day with ongoing projects presenting their results so far, some closer to implementation and delivering impact, some earlier in the development phase. It was exciting to see that our program’s projects are leading to very positive impacts on the Swedish mining and metals sector, as well as for society at large” Lawrence Hooey, Technology and Innovation Manager, Swedish Mining Innovation.
