Maria Stranne, Director of Digital Transformation Innovation at SKF Group and vice chairman of the Swedsoft board did an excellent job as moderator for STEW 2021.
It was with great joy Swedsoft and our co-host welcomed the participants to Lund and the tenth STEW conference. STEW has since 2012 been arranged to create exchange between industry, academia and public sector within software development and research. This year we were happy to be able to meet in person again and throughout the conference, several opportunities were given to make new contacts and exchange ideas, thoughts and knowledge.
