Enea Joins Center for Embedded Systems (ICES)

Enea has joined the Innovative Centre for Embedded Systems (ICES) as one of the founding members. Started by the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) in Stockholm on September 3, the ICES is a collaboration between academia and industry aimed at elevating the state of the art in embedded system design.

The ICES seeks to strengthen the ties between universities, industry and international research, with a goal of establishing the ICES as a pre-eminent research, education, and commercial development center for embedded system design, architecture and methodology. Building on a network of ongoing research projects in the Stockholm, Södertälje and Västerås areas, the ICES will focus on telecom, automation, automotive, and medical technology applications. Within ten years, the founders expect the ICES to emerge as the world's leading center of embedded systems technology development.

ICES is the brainchild of Martin Törngren, a professor in the mechatronics department at KTH. At his disposal will be a board of directors led by Tor Eriksson from ÅF. Joining Mr. Eriksson on the board are Jan Wiklander, Karl-Henrik Johansson, Patrik Jensfelt and Axel Jantsch from KTH, Jan-Erik Frey from ABB, Barbro Claesson from Enea, Hans Schmekel from Ericsson and Tony Sandberg from Scania.
