Machines don't wait.
Neither should you.
While Sweden’s been busy with herring, midsummer poles and questionable dance moves, we at Nordic Hardtech have also been picking up quieter rhythms — like the heartbeat of Europe’s industrial machines.
This week’s spotlight is on IPercept, the Stockholm-based deeptech startup turning CNC machines into data-driven storytellers. Founder Karoly Szipka joins the pod to talk predictive maintenance, industrial AI, and how Europe’s manufacturing edge depends on more than just manpower. It’s about listening closely, and moving fast.
