Global context
Globally - Millions of top talent globally - Competence development number one in Asia - American universities attracts the top talent - The world economy is expected to triple by 2050 - Hi-tech city (Hyderabad) growing with the size of Kista on a monthly basisLocally in Sweden - Top talent to be counted in thousands - Hard to attract students to technical studies - Innovations are often exported - Emerging markets and business growth far away - Young people with new behaviors entering the arena, how to take advantage? But Sweden - still has outstanding system architects - has the know how to run global projects - is a multicultural society - has the brands! - is flexible

Experiences from the first year
• Well-received by the students and all stakeholders, • The top talent students team reached the finals at the ICSE SCORE 2009 Software Engineering Project contest
• Important to have support programs like• interaction with researchers at the university• social integration in the host country• “tourist” program
• Support group spirit, e.g., through activities and a home base (classroom, special lab)
•An introduction to academic writing is essential• Extended responsibility on the program coordinator as well as teachers

• Increase frequency of meetings with Industrial mentors • Project management is a key success factor • Frequent stakeholders updates and follow up on actions (study visits, payment of scholarships, student performance appraisals etc).
• Need for a clear plan which is communicated to the students, both regarding activities and responsibilities during the program.
• Need for a individual career plan upon completion of the program. Continuous contact with the employer during the program is crucial.
• Continued involvement in the thesis themes and also keeping the group alive through special meetings even after their study program needed and planned
