National conference organisers visit Swedish exoskeleton research lab

The conference attracts between 2000-2500 participants, and consists of informative lectures and a few selected displays and testing booths.
A test of the exos in the lab
In September 2022, the managers of "Gilla Jobbet" contacted the EXSKALLERATE project team at the University of Gävle to learn more about exoskeletons. They tried the exoskeletons, part of the EXSKALLERATE project. According to the feedback, the visitors were inspired by the support provided by the exoskeletons, particularly Eksovest and BackX.
EXSKALLERATE to exhibit at the conference
Although the EXSKALLERATE project will finish in June 2023, the University of Gävle has received a fully sponsored participation opportunity. This consists of a designated area to present exoskeletons for thousands of Swedish SME workers and managers. It is anticipated that participation in this significant national event will deliver a significant impact and to accelerate the adoption of exoskeletons in the SMEs of Sweden.
