Image sensors are the core components that allow electronic devices to capture photographs and videos. These tiny electronic devices convert light into digital signals, making it possible for cameras to record detailed images. From smartphones to security cameras, image sensors play a crucial role in modern technology.

When light enters a camera lens, it reaches the image sensor where millions of tiny pixels detect the light intensity and color. Each pixel converts this information into electrical signals that are processed to create a digital image. The higher the number of pixels, the more detailed the final image can be.

Image sensors are used in many types of devices beyond traditional cameras. Smartphones rely heavily on advanced sensors to capture high-quality photos and videos. Automotive systems use cameras with image sensors for driver assistance features such as lane detection and parking assistance.

Security and surveillance systems also depend on image sensors…

Tourism for future generations

In October 2024, the NORDIC TOURISM COLLECTIVE will host a unique event, gathering tourism suppliers and partners together with universities, higher education institutions and students for an open day of content and networking, showcasing the breadth, the culture, the excitement and potential of the tourism industry in the Nordic region.

Why are we doing this?

Our industry faces a continuing shortage of available and good staff. Initially, this crisis was a manifestation of the immediate port-covid environment as companies struggled to re-adjust to higher levels of business enquiries and bookings with fewer staff. It is now clear, however, that there is a longer-term infrastructural issue which sees the Travel & Tourism sector struggling to recruit and retain staff. Lockdown conditions and legislations have accelerated workplace infrastructural change with WFH now the accepted normality with new entrants to the workplace seeking a balanced work-life and flexible j…

2023 has been a busy year for us all.

Tourism is thriving again with many destinations and operators enjoying excellent numbers. Whilst some regions in the East are still below pre-pandemic numbers due to lingering effects of the Ukraine conflict, there are destinations in the West and across the North Atlantic in particular struggling with a lack of capacity and record demand.

At the COLLECTIVE, our efforts have reflected this pattern, culminating with our events in Riga and on the Baltic Sea, where we discussed existential changes to our industry; the development of Cold Tourism, attracting new generations to tourism and, of course, the advance of technology. 

Our community grew in 2023 with many new supplier and buyer members and, importantly, so has our partnership-reach and collaborative efforts.

The global travel industry is predicted to represent a US$15.5 tn economy by 2033 and while there will be many obstacles to overcome…
