Top 8 EU WOMEN INNOVATORS, EN

TREPRENEURS AND SCIENTISTS
as2con director and the leader of our business development team was placed among top 8 woman in Europe who are innovators, entrepreneurs and scientists. The competition was organized in September 2011 by Innovation Union – an initiative of the European Commission to promote innovations. The competition criteria included: innovativeness of our solutions, marketability, social and economic impact of our solutions as well as Nataša’s scientific and entrepreneurial involvement. The contest gathered about 100 women from entire Europe.

Cooperation with Tallinn University

Nataša Golik Klanac gave a course on Integrated Internet Communication at Baltic Film and Media School in Tallinn, Estonia. The course aimed to provide an understanding of characteristics, tools, strategies and implementation issues of integrated internet communication. The course builds on contemporary literature on integrated internet marketing communication and insights into its business practice.

The Economist

as2con's innovative business model for shipyards entered the Top 4 Innovative ideas on "The Economist-InnoCentive" Entrepreneurship Challenge. The main characteristic of the proposed model is reflected through the change in the business focus. Shipyards having a  new “service-oriented” focus would enable greater competitiveness and sustainability when compared to their existing focus. The final results will be announced at the upcoming "The Ideas Economy: Innovation" conference which will be held at The Hass School of Business, University of California at Berkeley, from 23-24 March 2011. Top finalists will defend their ideas  based on the Dragons´ Den reality TV show model for innovative business ideas.

Abstract of our innovative model can be viewed here.

Project preparation: EU – EMERGESTEEL (2004)
flood Riggered by the positive characteristics of laser-welded sandwich panels and faced with the recent flooding, earthquakes and storms throughout the Europe and World, a research project was conceived to design and produce several emergency responsive actions from sandwich panels. Having in mind that steel sandwich panels are light and modular structures and still strong enough one can think of several immediate applications that are of need during catastrophes. Hand assembled bridges, movable dikes or earthquake safe houses are some of the possibilities. AS2CON aided these efforts by producing a project proposal document.
