INNOVATION IDEA COMPETITION 2024
RockSigma and NorrSpect had the most promising innovative ideas
The last Innovation Idea Competition is now over, and the competition offered many great and innovative ideas. During the pitch event, the innovators had the opportunity to refine their ideas and demonstrate why their concepts were the most valuable and exciting for the mining sector.
- The presentations were of exceptionally high quality this year, making it challenging for the jury to rank the ideas, says Lotta Sartz , Chair of the jury. Ultimately, the jury chose two winners whose ideas stood out as having the potential to make a significant impact on the mining industry globally. They will receive SEK 600,000 each to take their idea further. The two winners are:
?? RockSigma AB - "Next Generation Processing for Distributed Acoustic Sensing".?
Short motivation from the jury; "Their cutting-edge seismic processing solution, which enables safe operations at greater depths, addresses the future need for smarter and deeper mining, making this innovative team stand out with a high-impact idea poised to revolutionize the global mining industry”.
??NorrSpect AB - “Visual Inspection”
Short motivation from the jury; "Their innovative software tool, which integrates with existing equipment to enhance efficiency, safety, sustainability, and environmental responsibility through the use of regular cameras and data-driven insights, distinguished them as one of the top choices".
??Thank you for all the fantastic entries we have received this year and also since the start of this competition 10 years ago. Thank you to everyone who has been on the jury and produced such great winners over the years and the whole team behind the event. Finally, we would like to thank the eight companies that pitched their ideas this year. Keep up the good work and thank you for having such great ideas that can make a difference!
