Station X returns with a focus on game development

The successful concept Station X is back with its second event, this time with the theme of Games – Design and Development. Around 70 game enthusiasts gathered, including researchers, companies, and students.

“How can we get companies, students, and researchers to meet?” This is the question Johan Bornebusch asked himself last year, and now Innovation Station and Södertörn University have held their second networking event. The purpose of the event was to create a space for students to take their first steps into the workforce and for companies to showcase themselves and collaborate with teachers and researchers in the Game Program and the Master’s program in User Experience and Interactive Media Design at Södertörn University.

“It’s so great that we could follow up our first networking event, Station X – theme UX, with an equally packed Innovation Station with the theme of Games – Design and Development. Next time we will have to set a limit on the number of participants. It’s a pleasant problem to have.”

“I am so genuinely happy about all the spontaneous conversations taking place between students and companies, between researchers and companies, between the actors in Flemingsberg, students, and companies. And we look forward to Station X – Art and Culture, and Station X – Urban Development, this fall.” – Johan Bornebusch.

How Do You Build a Place Where More Organizations Want to Establish Themselves?

What is it that actually makes a company, research environment or organization choose to establish itself in a particular place? It is rarely just about premises or geography. Just as important are access to talent, networks, collaboration and a shared direction for the future. In Flemingsberg, a number of stakeholders are working together through Etableringskontor Flemingsberg to strengthen the area’s attractiveness and create the best possible conditions for future establishments. Pernilla Boström tells us more about the work, the goals and what we took away from a study visit to Lund and Malmö.
