Young Professionals Company Visit: Ericsson Breda
Join us for an exclusive Young Professionals company visit to Ericsson in Breda, a global technology pioneer shaping the future of connectivity.
Did you know that Ericsson developed Bluetooth technology and has been at the forefront of communication innovation for decades? From enabling mobile networks worldwide to driving 5G and beyond, Ericsson continues to connect people, businesses, and societies.
Last year marked a historic milestone: for the first time in more than 100 years in the Netherlands, Ericsson moved into a brand-new office. During this visit, we will get a behind-the-scenes look at their new Breda location and experience a guided demo tour of Ericsson’s latest technologies.
The tour will be hosted by Jeroen Buijs, CTO of Ericsson Netherlands, who will take us through the hardware wall and the 5G Garage, showcasing the evolution of Ericsson’s network technology. Participants will also experience live 5G demonstrations, including remote driving with a Playseat simulator, highlighting the power of ultra-low latency connectivity.
We will also hear from Lovro Jarnjak, Head of Core Networks West Europe at Ericsson, who will share insights from his career journey — from engineer to a leadership role within Ericsson. In this keynote session, Lovro will discuss the lessons he learned along the way and offer perspectives on building a career and growing quickly in the fast-moving telecom industry.
This evening brings together Young Professionals and board members of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, creating a unique opportunity to connect across generations and industries in an inspiring and innovative environment.
