About

Johann Wenngren is a researcher focused on advancing innovation and technology adoption within small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs). His work centers on developing practical, collaborative frameworks that bridge the gap between academic research and industrial application, particularly in regional manufacturing contexts. His most cited paper, "Developing a Toolbox of supports for small and medium sized manufacturing companies" (2016, 6 citations), stems from the TARGET project—a multinational partnership spanning the UK, Ireland, Norway, Finland, and Sweden. This project created a suite of tools designed to enhance SMEs' capacity to adapt to new technologies and foster innovation. Wenngren’s contributions are notable for their emphasis on actionable, regionally tailored support systems, helping smaller firms navigate technological change. His research has been instrumental in shaping policy and practice for manufacturing resilience, with his work cited by scholars and practitioners seeking to strengthen SME ecosystems. Through collaborative, cross-border initiatives, Wenngren continues to drive impactful solutions that empower manufacturers to embrace innovation and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving global market.
