On Thursday, our CEO Helge Aasen participated in Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)’s Topplederforum, engaging with leaders from academia, industry, and the public sector discussing how to strengthen collaboration on R&D and innovation between industry and academia, to meet society's needs in a changing world 🌎 Helge shared Elkem’s journey from an industrial startup in 1904 to a global leader in advanced silicon-based materials, essential for digitalisation and the #GreenTransition, as well as our focus on research, development and innovation 👩🔬 With our global team of 7,400 employees, including 550 researchers and 14 R&I centres, Elkem is committed to this area. In 2022, we invested over 2.5% of our turnover in R&I. New products introduced over the past five years make up more than 20% of our turnover. Our close collaboration with Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and SINTEF has been crucial in developing technologies like the Sicalo carbon looping project, which we celebrated last week after it received €1.8 million in support from Horizon Europe. Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) plays a vital role in our innovation efforts, providing top-tier talent and fostering research environments that keep us competitive globally. As global competition intensifies, research and innovation are essential. NTNU’s role in educating future talent is crucial for our success, and the success of many others. Going forward, we will place even greater emphasis on research that combines domain expertise (e.g. within metallurgy, chemistry and high-temperature processes) with measurement technology to optimise our operations. Thank you to Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), SINTEF and all our partners for their collaboration and support in ensuring the Norwegian process industry remains world-leading in terms of productivity and energy efficiency 🤝

Thank you to everyone who attended the ‘Trailblazing Industry Engagement’ panel discussion event as part of The University of Queensland Research and Innovation Week 🎉 Thank you to our panellist for sharing their experiences and insights: - Professor Leigh Staines, UQ Sustainable Minerals Institute - Colin D. Davies, Head of Physical Sciences at Uniquest - Associate Professor Nidhi Bansal, FaBA’s Training Centre Program Lead Here are the key takeaways from the panel: 🎤“If academia is about discovery, industry is about productivity. The key is finding the crossover between research applications and where industry can see value within their time frames.” 🎤 “As researchers, it’s crucial to distinguish between what is perceived as needed versus what is actually wanted. Your passion may solve a real problem, but it may not always align with the funder’s perspective.” 🎤 “Don’t approach industry with preconceptions. Come with a mindset to understand what they need, then work on the solution.” 🎤 “Researchers and industry partners will often view problems differently. The most important factor is aligning expectations, outcomes, and timelines, as industry operates at a much faster pace.” The panel discussion highlighted the importance of engaging with industry to enhance research outcomes, aligning research with practical needs, and facilitating clear communication and collaboration by understanding differing perspectives and expectations. Thank you everyone again for making this event a success! 🌟 #trailblazers #uq #researchandinnovation

🎉 Exciting news from Single Crystal Diamond! They have been awarded $274,586 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the National Science Foundation subagency. This SBIR Phase I project focuses on plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD) diamond growth for photonic switches. The broader impact of this research is significant, addressing the critical need for high-purity diamond substrates in various science programs. This advancement has the potential to revolutionize industries by improving the performance and capabilities of devices such as photonic switches. #SBIR #STTR #Innovation 🔬 The project aims to establish a nitrogen matrix study to control and maintain consistency in nitrogen levels, a significant barrier in the past. The research will utilize PE-CVD to grow diamond films and create standard reference materials for potential standardization. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria. The research type is Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase I Action, and the award lasts for 6 months, starting on October 1, 2024, and ending on March 31, 2025. #Research #Technology #Science
