On 15 September, Digital Futures welcomed a delegation from Shanghai.
Exploring opportunities for collaboration
During the visit the delegation met with Digital Futures representatives for an afternoon of presentations, discussions and lab visits. The programme included an introduction to Digital Futures by Executive Director Annika Szabo Portela and Urban Forssell, Head of AI Strategy and Innovation, followed by a research presentation by Qianwen Xu, Associate Professor at KTH.
Representatives from Shanghai presented their work and perspectives on AI research, innovation and industrial development, followed by a discussion and Q&A.
“It was a great opportunity to exchange perspectives with our colleagues from Shanghai and explore how our research communities can learn from each other. I hope this visit will lead to new connections and opportunities for collaboration in AI and sustainable digital technologies,” says Qianwen Xu, Associate Professor at KTH.
The delegation also had the opportunity to visit two of KTH’s research environments: the Intelligent Sustainable Grid Lab and Dig-it Lab, providing a glimpse into how digital technologies and AI are being explored in real-world research settings.
The visit provided an opportunity to strengthen connections between research and innovation and in Stockholm and Shanghai.
