Imagine if we could guide 5,000 ninth graders toward education, engineering, and community building. This is the mission of the Let's Uptech initiative, a collaboration between Knightec, Scania Group and Granitor. Our goal is to inspire students who might not see themselves as future engineers or academics to embark on a journey toward higher education. There is an abundance of untapped talent that, if neglected, could result in significant losses for both society and businesses. We believe that with the right guidance and positive role models, we can make a substantial difference. The results of our collaboration over the years speak volumes. In 2008, I had a pivotal meeting in Järva with Börje Ehrstrand, the principal at Rinkebyskolan. This meeting marked the beginning of our journey. We were tasked with creating a long-term initiative, moving away from the temporary, PR-focused efforts of the past. Sixteen years later, Let's Uptech has expanded to include nineteen schools across Sweden. Our short-term goal is to reach 30 schools and 3000 students annually. Our long-term vision is even more ambitious, aiming to involve more companies in our efforts. We aspire to become exemplars of effective collaboration between schools and industry. Welcome to Järvaveckan – a dynamic forum dedicated to tackling the challenges of today's and tomorrow's society. Don't miss the Let's Uptech panel discussions on May 31, starting at 12:30.

This week I attend Data Innovation club from Hyperight. It is a great format to discuss challenges in AI implementation. Particular, it was interesting to hear AI experts from Volvo Cars Jesper Fredriksson and Michael Wallgren Fjellander. Top highlights: • After deployment phase and fine tuning it is important to save interest of people to use further AI applications. Do internal marketing, make updates improving perception • Build inside solutions more preferable than buy it and wait when Google create something. To gain real value AI should be specific for company • At company should be AI council where all aspects are considered and centralized decisions Special thanks to Lele Cao! Your findings are awesome regarding Graph technologies. By trying different sets we also could improve our semantic models🌐🏷️ #AI #RAG #Graph

I meet them every week, the non-native Swedish professionals who are hesitant to use the local language when applying for a job or positioning themselves for their next job internally. My English is not perfect despite 10+ years in US-based companies. My Swedish is not perfect despite living in Sweden for decades. My native language, Norwegian, is imperfect after living abroad for decades. I decided to let go of perfection and aim to be of service by turning my flaws into an advantage, with some humor attached. Now, I help others do the same. #liveandunlearn #unlearning #insightsfromimperfection
