The talks stage features an incredible lineup of inspiring people from around the world in conversation - representing all areas of industry, academia, the arts, sciences and public life. Rather than a series of keynotes, speeches, panel sessions or powerpoint presentations, the magazine-style interviews and intimate performances at MTF Stockholm provide a personal insight into the world and the stories of each of these amazing individuals. Three Croatian representatives are invited: Nenad Bach (with his project World Peace In One Hour), Danica Kragić (a leading expert in robotics) and Sven Maričić (expert in 3D printing).

In-depth magazine-style interviews with inventors, pioneers and influencers

She received MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Rijeka, Croatia in 1995.

Danica is a Professor at the School of Computer Science and Communication at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. She is currently the lead investigator on a groundbreaking 10-year, 1-billion kroner AI research project funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. She is both a robotics scientist and a seamstress - and emphasises the art and science duality of life, not just in respect of what makes us human, but also what we can teach the machines.
