Science at work for SwedenOn 18 December 2008, a contract was signed to transfer the Imego Institute to Swedish ICT Research. The Swedish Government is thus promoting industrial research by unifying Sweden’s institutes. Swedish ICT Research now consists of Acreo, Imego, the Interactive Institute, Santa Anna, SICS, and the Viktoria Institute. The new ownership structure creates opportunities for more extensive collaboration with the other institutes in the group and enables us to participate in larger joint projects, both nationally and internationally. Our close relationship with Chalmers University of Technology also provides access to extensive research facilities. Companies doing business with Imego will benefit from the know-how and resources of our expanding network. 10 Imego years of research excellenceOver the last ten years, the Imego Institute has developed to become a significant multidisciplinary research institute and a valued component of the Swedish educational and industrial system. The stability of a strong owner, the State of Sweden, enabled Imego to invest boldly in innovation and growth, which investments have paid off handsomely. Imego has become a dynamic and professional organization that is focused on the problems and challenges of micro- and nanotechnology. Together with our customers and partners, we have overcome technical challenges and created smart products and production methods. Closing the gap between universities and industry is necessary to meet the growing need for converting discovery into innovation and commercializing Swedish research results. We are now proud to play a leading role in transferring technology to market in the important and rapidly growing field of miniaturized sensor systems. Smart investment has paid offThe Imego Institute is one of the few leading global actors in miniaturized dynamic inertial measurement systems (DIM). With projects for large Swedish and international companies and organizations, Imego has built up knowledge in a range of disciplines such as wireless sensor networks and dynamic susceptometry. In this way, Imego’s most important resource has been generated – technological excellence. Stimulating the growth and profitability of small Swedish enterprises mainly by providing applied research of the highest quality and helping them find ways to obtain external financing for development projects are also important to us. The Imego Institute has collaborated with a large number of small enterprises and has been involved in several successful development projects. Our research in sensor systems has also resulted in promising spin-offs such as Vasasensor, a company that produces pressure sensors for the paper industry. We are proud to be an important resource for Swedish industry today. With new owners and ten years of experience behind us, our outstanding people are eager to confront the challenges of the future!
