Welcome to a UBI House breakfast & seminar at Tvistevägen 48, in conference room "Skogen".

Speaker: Andreas Vidman, CEO, Prediktera

Seminar: From Umeå to the world: Prediktera’s journey in hyperspectral imaging

About: Prediktera develops software for hyperspectral imaging analysis. Our software is used by customers worldwide in a diverse range of applications, including research and industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, mining & minerals, agriculture, recycling, and many more.
Prediktera has its origin from a spin-off company from Umeå University and has focused on hyperspectral imaging software since 2015. In 2022, we became a fully owned subsidiary of Norsk Elektro Optikk AS, a leading photonics company based in Norway. 
In this presentation, I will provide an introduction to what we do, discuss our journey and how we arrived at our current position, and outline the challenges we face as we continue to grow.

Registration deadline: Thursday, October 17 (you can sign up after this, but not for breakfast). 

NOTE: The event is open to everyone. UBI offers breakfast from 8.15, and the seminar starts at 8.30. 

Participation fee: This event is sponsored by Umeå Biotech Incubator (UBI) with support from the European Union. There is no actual fee for participating. For delegates from the industry, state-aid/de-minimis will be accounted for corresponding to 50 SEK per person.

State aid & de-minimis: Umeå Biotech Incubator is obliged to account for activities they arrange, and support they provide, that are directed to specific companies or a group of companies where the receiving companies do not pay market price for the participation. The value of this support is accounted for as state-aid. 
Small amounts of State aid (‘de minimis’ aid) are exempted from State aid control, as they are deemed to have no impact on competition and trade in the internal market of the European Union (EU). De minimis aid indeed refers to small amounts of State aid to undertakings (companies) that do not have to be notified to the European Commission by the EU Member States.
The maximum amount is € 300,000 for each undertaking over 3 years.
De minimis can also be granted to large companies that are not entitled to larger sums of state-aid under Article 22.
