Strategic Partners
Strong companies that are highly expert in research and development are a natural part of the development of our study courses and programmes and of the region’s trade and industry. We have a history of working closely and long-term with our strategic partner companies. These collaborations have given us good understanding of what will be required of tomorrow’s business operations. In turn, this knowledge is used to create benefit in all SPARK projects.
Our Strategic Partners
"Our collaboration with the university is important for building knowledge and entrepreneurship in the region. For Saab AB, it is important to develop our employees' skills and deliver products and services that are at the forefront of technology. Together with the university, we work towards the same goal - to build knowledge in the region to develop both the university and the companies."

"As a strategic partner, we can convey valuable research results to companies in the wood industry. We can also bring challenges from companies to academia, where new research leads to important developments. A company's challenges are often shared by others, making industry-focused research valuable for the entire sector. We act as a bridge that both retrieves and transfers knowledge, with the long-term goal of strengthening the wood industry!"
Anna Werbitsch Arnell
CEO
”We can contribute to Jönköping University with our close contacts with business in the GGVV-region. It is important to listen to the needs of GGVV-companies and to recognise the advantages of lifelong learning and business-related research. For us, it is important to acknowledge this, so that we can help the companies to be more efficient through research. It could be about minimising production costs achieving cutting-edge positions."

"Det är viktigt att regionen ständigt utvecklas och att kompetensen ökar över tid. För oss är det därför viktigt att vara med och bidra till att Jönköping med omnejd fortsätter öka i attraktionsvärde när det kommer till att studera, arbeta och bo i regionen. Vi ser samverkan med JTH som en viktig del för att uppnå detta och behålla Husqvarna Groups globala konkurrenskraft".
