+Project is an open innovation project for the construction, building related and creative industries. It is a prototype driven project which will culminate in this event, as well as and an Expo starting May 30, 2018.
+Project gather academic and industry partners to create a strong area for research and innovation, a competence cluster within digital manufacturing, sustainable building and 3D technology in northern Sweden. European Innovation Scoreboard 2016 ranked Sweden as the EU innovation leader, and Northern Sweden as one of Europes most innovative regions.
The project is hosted by Sliperiet, Umeå University, with funding from European Regional Development Fund, Region Västerbotten, Umeå Municipality and Umeå university with its' partners.
In connection with this event, + Project launches an Expo with innovations and prototypes developed by companies, innovators and researchers in the project. The exhibition shows the region's new thinking and the possibilities of digital production - and shows the way towards a more sustainable way of housing and living.
