In her latest book, Mother of Invention – How Good Ideas Get Ignored In An Economy Built For Men, she examines how innovations are affected by our deeply held beliefs about the role of men and women within society.

About the study visit 1&2
Northvolt was founded with the mission to build the world’s greenest battery. With a minimal carbon footprint and the highest ambitions for recycling to enable the European transition to renewable energy.
Northvolt’s first large-scale battery factory is currently being established in Skellefteå, with the first cell assembled in late 2021. As a part of a raw material and mining cluster, Skelllefteå has a long history of process manufacturing and recycling.
During the Northvolt visit you will hear more about the establishment and the next steps in the journey. Please note that it is not possible to enter the site. We will visit a viewing point next to the site and drive around the area with the bus.
The study visit includes also a visit to Skellefteå Airport and Green Flight Academy. With 1 MW charging capacity installed, Pipistrel electric airplanes on-site and the world’s most sustainable flight academy, Skellefteå is a pioneer in the field of electric aviation.

FAIR
is a first step towards a rapid introduction of sustainable regional aviation. The project aims to increase the knowledge base on electric aviation, raise awareness, investigates the possibilities and surveys both the needs and the required technical investments.
Nordic Battery Belt Logistics
is focusing on sustainable and cost-effective transports between battery producers, their suppliers and end users. The purpose is to provide a better understanding of new logistics flows that are expected to emerge in the region due to ongoing and planned battery plant establishments.
