Four distinct products; three different companies; two distant continents - connecting one planet's future.

The Force: It is not an everyday occurrence that one can walk around feeling like a Jedi. Well one US-based robotics company called Sphero on the contrary, is bringing that feeling a little closer to homes with their BB-8 and Force Band offering. As BB-8 is now fast becoming a household or office robotic pet. Sphero’s Force Band addition (which helps to control the BB-8 robot), has certainly brought out what was once a dream-like concept of George Lucas’ Star War saga to real life and modern living. Find out more on Sphero.com.

Brilliance and being smart is one thing. Having the skills to focus on a career that serves the human nervous-system which includes the brain and spine, takes a lot more than grey matter but also hard work and dedication to the specialization of neurological surgery.

Doctor Strange, also known as Stephen Vincent Strange, takes such skills to the next level by becoming a sorcerer. Probably the best way to think of a sorcerer would be a magician with steroid enhanced skills. Therefore if one combined the likes of David Blaine and David Copperfield with the aptitude of a Medical Doctor like Doogie Howser, M.D you would just about be the value-add needed to become such a superhero.

How important is the Healthy Business Award for Björn Borg?

The award is a fantastic acknowledgement of our work and it is a great honour to receive it, but the most important thing is that our employees are stronger than what they were a year ago. This is based on the activities that we do together to become a stronger team. We focus on integrating personal "get stronger" goals into our performance management toolbox. Making sure to have good smart monthly goals and then do a lot of different activities that enable all individuals to reach their goals. Activities can for instance be our weekly sports-hour, bi-annual fitness tests, educations and team activities.
