Afterwork with the Harry Hotline Society

Join us for an afterwork at Mobile Heights Center where we talk about Ericssons successes and setbacks, and look at their mobile phone history.

Jan Svensson, Per Göran Ohlsson and Hans Blackman, authors behind the book on Ericssons mobile phones, will talk about the history of the telecom cluster in Lund. How the history of the cluster coincides with the history of Ericsson. The concerns regarding the lack of new job opportunities for engineers in the 1980’s led to the establishment of a mobile phone development in Lund. A business that then grew from the barracks at Ideon into a global technology giant, while the phones shrank from bricks to fit in your pocket.

Afterwards, Ola Svedin, CEO at Mobile Heights, will give us a view of Mobile Heights' role in channelling the knowledge heritage built up in the mobile industry to other businesses on the fast track to digitalization.

Come and see the Ericsson phones, listen to the history and talk about what the future has to offer.

(Please note that the presentations will be held in Swedish.)
