Feedback from the winners
Last year's winner Shekhar Devm Upadhyay impressed the judges with his passion for machine learning and his take on how it can be applied to different areas of sustainability work.
“It’s been great. All in all, I’ve been at four different departments – three in Stockholm and one in Vilnius. What really stood out to me was how easy it was to feel part of the different teams. I’m also very happy that I’ve been able to work on my own project, getting useful experience in applying my knowledge to real-world cases”, says Shekhar.
The year before, winner of Tech talent of the year 2022 was Celine Helgesson Hallström. She describes her experience as the Tech Student of the Year:
“It’s been eight fantastic weeks. I especially appreciate the possibility to engage with so many different teams, in two different countries. The fact that I was able to decide for myself which areas and tasks I wanted to explore also appealed to me. I got to do a few interesting smaller tasks, in addition to one bigger, main assignment”, says Celine.
