Final presentation jury members

.
There will be no less then five members of the jury for the final presentation. There will not be time for all members of the jury to express opinions about every group's presentation. In fact, I believe that perhaps two members of the jury will be able to comment on each group's presentation and these will for the most part be feedback and an opinion/review rather than questions (there is no time for that).

These are the member of the jury:

- Jonas Olofsson, Business development manager at Bonnier Research & Development
- Björn Thuresson, Senior researcher at KTH/CSC
- Kristina Sabelström Möller, Technical Doctor (KTH) and Senior project manager at Expressen
- Milad Hosseinzadeh, Architect, Entrepreneur and guest teacher at KTH/Architecture
- Anders Malmström, CEO for Bonnier International Magazines
