CoDeWest 2025

CoDeWest 2025 – Co-Development Workshop @ University West

Do you or your clients face challenges in integrating the latest developments in Cybersecurity, 5G/6G networking, IoT, Generative AI, or AR/VR into products or internal infrastructure?
Would you be interested in working with academic researchers to identify and develop solutions? Our computer science research group have expertise in all these areas.

At University West we have a long successful track-record of working closely together with local and regional stakeholders to make advanced technologies useful in day-to-day operations, e.g. through Production Technology Center.

By participating in this workshop you will get an opportunity to discuss current software development and integration challenges you are facing both with us and also the other participating companies in the region. You will also learn how easy it actually can be to engage with us in projects. The workshop is on-location only (not hybrid) and run mainly in English language.

Welcome to participate! Don't forget to register by May 28!
