And a few research reports:

Welcome to have coffee and to become acquainted with books.
The introducer of our Innovation Cafe today 13.11. was professor Martti Lindman. He inspired we to discuss how the production development strategia brings the result. We had a good discussion from this theme, we spoke especially about the product development of the companies in Kauhajoki region and what could be done in the future.
The discussion has also been recorded. We just uploaded the recorded meeting of this afternoon! You can find it here http://www.itive.net/?p=32 (in finnish)
The tape recording of the previous lecture “from research to result” is found from here: http://meeting.ilive.fi/p37972823/ (in finish)
A speaker there was researcher Jukka Peltoniemi.
The virtual café-room ( http://meeting.ilive.fi/logistiacafe ) is always open and accessible 24 hours a day so people can still enter it and give their feedback whenever they have time. Who enter the room can also easily download the slides of today’s presentation.
Logistia companies have sponsored the basketballteam of Kauhajoki already for several years. The Kauhajoki Bears team rose finely in the spring of 2007 to the Finnish SM leaque. Now we indeed may often follow good matches from the TV. Our advertisement slogan “Smart moves” works for this sport excellently. And it also flashes every once in a while in the TV. We wish success to Kauhajoki Bears.
Today we had vistors from the upper secondary school of Kauhajoki, over 60 pupils. There were two groups; students of physics and chemistry. The schools are now having a LUMA- week. This event is organized by the LUMA center. The principal themes of the LUMA-week 2007 are the natural sciences, mathematics and technology in the everyday life and by the creativity. I told the students how we adapt these matters in the planning of intelligent conveyors. I showed, among others, examples of the firmness calculation. I also told that we can offer them very interesting job. I believe that from this group many seek work here after the vocational studyings. There is challenging, innovative and international working environment available in Kauhajoki.
