Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The purpose of this project was to prepare the company for the growth phase and internationalization, where the goal was that our product and production chain would be optimized for series production and that the company would have expanded into an international market. We succeeded in fulfilling the goal of optimizing the product for larger series, but not the goal of international expansion - mainly due to the pandemic delaying our plans worryingly.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Expected effects were that after the end of the project we would be ready to enter the growth phase, with upscaling of production and commenced internationalization - and it went largely as expected. We now have a product that is adapted for larger series and can soon focus entirely on growth. The internationalization process has begun, even though we have not yet made any expansion, we will be ready when the world reopens after the pandemic.
Approach and implementation
Subproject "Upscaling of production" consisted of two parts - partly to optimize production of the product and partly to optimize the production processes. According to the plan, we developed a prototype that is series-producible and we have also, together with production actors, optimized the processes to produce it and built up a network with production partners. "Internationalization": Here we took a stepped back and analyzed ourselves and formulated vision and objective with internationalization before we started investigating appropriate markets. Then came the pandemic..
