In a world of constant innovation and technological advancement, encouraging diverse perspectives and fresh thinking is more important than ever. At Kollmorgen, we aim to introduce the tech world to all creative thinkers, with the goal of generating more interest and knowledge for those navigating the choices of their career paths.

In partnership with DataTjej, a non-profit organization for women and non-binary individuals interested in IT and Data, we conducted an event to bring together talented individuals with a passion for innovation and provide them with the tools and support they need to succeed with a tech career.

" I think it's essential to get this kind of guidance because you can feel quite lost at the beginning of your career. There are many tools and different areas where you can develop your skills. It can be challenging to navigate through that world and prioritize the right skills that will be relevant in the future, " says Mihaela Grubii, SQA Engineer at Kollmorgen.

Kollmorgen has manufactured software for self-driving trucks and mobile robots for over 50 years. When they help their customers solve complex problems, innovation is always at the center.

- I would say that it is a must. If we do not put innovations at the center, we will not continue to develop, or stand out in the competition in the labor market, says Lauren Yaqo, group manager.

Picture this: an exciting code challenge and inspiring collaborations between tech-savvy engineers. Have we caught your interest?

A couple of weeks ago, we hosted our second Hackathon Afterwork event at the Kollmorgen office. Colleagues, students, and friends gathered for a creative night dedicated to creation and innovation. The mission of the Hackathon challenge? To create the best functioning software solution – within only two hours.

According to Philip Rasko and Hannes Jubro Kool, software engineers at Kollmorgen, the best part of the Hackathon event was meeting new people and seeing the team’s joint engagement for the code challenge.
" It’s a popular happening here at Kollmorgen that sparks engagement and brings us closer together as a team. "
