Prototype Week is now underway

Prototype Week is now underway

Starting today, 22 August, twelve creative talents in architecture and design will gather in this summer's new venture, Prototype Week. Over 7 days, participants will develop new prototypes that can make Tvistevägen more safe and inclusive.

Everything starts in Umeå Energi's test centre and then continues at eXpression, where two makerspaces are available. With the support of additional partners, LF Västerbotten and Campus X, the conditions are really good for creating innovative solutions.

It is through this kind of collaboration that we create even better conditions to make a real difference. We are excited to follow the group's journey and look forward to the ideas and prototypes that will emerge during the week.
