The students of ICM'11 have now come back from a well deserved Christmas Holiday and the project is running at full speed. A lot of activities are driven by the different teams that the organization has been divided in. I am sure that you will here a lot from them in the future but here a brief introduction of the activities are presented.
SMF Forum
SMF 2.0 is one of the activities that will be carried out in order to raise funds for the ICM11 school project. SMF 2.0 is a one-day forum, targeting small and medium sized technically oriented companies. The purpose is to provide the companies with a possibility to widen their knowledge within certain areas. The 2010 forum will focus on three strategic business areas and will also be an opportunity for networking, inspiration and sharing of knowledge between various industries.
The three strategic business areas covered in SMF 2.0 2010 are:
• Maximizing knowledge utilization
• Expand and develop your value proposition
• Create customer value through your brand
BITE Seminars Version 2
The background behind BITE (“Bolla Idéer om Teknik och Entreprenörskap”)is that estimates show that Sweden will lack 50’000 engineers 2020. Therefore, BITE was started to promote students in middle school and high school to pursue technical educations and also to teach them how to solve problems with an entrepreneurial approach. The concept of BITE is company-sponsored seminars where Chalmers students visit upper secondary classes in Gothenburg and conduct interactive technology and entrepreneurship-based workshops in order to attract more students to engineering educations offered in Swedish Universities. All revenues of these seminars will go directly to the Seaweed Project.
Internet Auctions of Football Jerseys
In order to finance the project the football teams AIK, Djurgårdens IF, GAIS, Gefle IF, Halmstads BK, Häcken, Elfsborg and Trelleborg have agreed to support the Seaweed Center Project by donate jerseys signed members of the teams.
Establish a market and create sales channels
One of the most important areas to develop in order to increase the income for the women working at the Seaweed center is to build a logistic structure for distribution and sales of the soap. A market analysis in order to explore the local and international market has been initiated. Also, a review of the EU regulations has started by the law students in the class.
Creation of legal and company structures
In order for the Seaweed center to be a registered limited company it is required to have established company structures. The law students have had meeting with representatives from a law firm that will support the Seaweed Center pro bono.
That's all for now folks! Thank you for your interest in the Seaweed Center Project!
