For those who get a notification email inviting to Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) process for the submitted EU funding proposal, that in itself is a great achievement. It shows that the funding application has been positively reviewed and ranked higher than almost all other applications. However, highly detailed work needs to be done to fulfil the process requirements and achieve the signing of your Grant Agreement before you can truly kick off your funded project. Spinverse Project Services offer specialised support for navigating the GAP phase, ensuring that all necessary details are addressed, facilitating a smooth and efficient preparation process towards the successful signing of your Grant Agreement. 

This spring, we are delighted to welcome Axel, Nicholas and Michael to the Spinverse team. They bring with them new expertise in the Energy team and for Spinbase sales.

Whilst welcoming the new year 2024, we are sharing some news on organisational changes at Spinverse and promotions of our colleagues. We also welcome a new colleague to Spinverse. 

At Spinverse, we believe that our success is rooted in the dedication and expertise of our team members. In January, we took a moment to celebrate the significant career milestones of four of our colleagues: Markku Heino, Joni Turunen, Eeva Viinikka and Katri Saarinen.

We reached out to Fredrik Nyman to learn about his first impressions and expectations upon joining Spinverse. Fredrik shared his initial thoughts and strategic vision for the company as a new custodian of growth and innovation.

At Spinverse, we are cultivating a culture that embraces the idea that learning never truly ends. People naturally lean towards a curiosity for new knowledge and an enthusiasm for our diverse community. We firmly believe that there's a wealth of wisdom to gain from one another. Therefore, adoption and exploitation of AI is not taking us by surprise, either.

Spinverse Group announces the appointment of Fredrik Nyman as the new Chief Executive Officer, effective from November 27th 2023. Fredrik brings with him strong experience from his 15-year career at LINK Mobility Group, a rapidly expanding tech company in Sweden.

Building a consortium with over forty partners across the EU is complex, especially when you are combining the distributed R&D&I capabilities from corporates, SMEs, universities, RTOs and start-ups from 20+ countries. Patrick Halford, our VP, Digital Industries, discusses this challenge and our take on how to approach it.

Helsinki-Uusimaa Regional Council has chosen Spinverse to create a strategic roadmap towards an increase in the region’s investment in research, development and innovation (RDI). An understanding of the status of RDI activities in the region and a visionary roadmap towards the future will be created in the participatory process with local stakeholders in the coming months. 

In the times marked by the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads. Companies and employees face a choice: embrace the future or miss out on incredible opportunities? Our Head of People and Culture Dijana Soininen emphasises the importance of learning and development in this era of emerging AI.
