A commitment designed to strengthen the connection from academic studies to professional life.
In September, we had the great pleasure of welcoming the Principal of University West, Mats Jägstam, and teacher and researcher, Christian Master Östlund to Graniten. Our visitors had the opportunity to see our facilities at our Headquarter here in Uddevalla and engage in discussions about future collaborations.
We have worked closely with University West for the last 10 years and for us, it is clear that a strong collaboration between industry and academia is a key driver of international success and innovation. University West provides the foundation for the region’s progress across multiple industries, enabling both knowledge sharing and practical engagement.
For Graniten, this collaboration translates into:
✅ internship opportunities for students (Co-op),
✅ thesis projects and guest lectures,
✅ input into the development of future educational programs and research,
✅ employment of graduates directly from university.
“A long-term partnership with the region’s university is vital to securing the talent and expertise needed for the future. University West is an ideal collaborator that, giving us confidence that we can meet our competence needs while offering students a direct path to employment. The graduates are bringing fresh skills that fuel innovation and keep us ahead of tomorrow’s challenges”
says Magnus Wall, CEO of Graniten.
“We are very pleased about the collaboration with Graniten, which will make our students even more prepared to contribute to innovation and development”
says Mats Jägstam, the University’s Principal.
We look forward to continuing to build this strong partnership and jointly fostering innovation, knowledge, and sustainable growth for the future.
