About Industry X

The Industry X project enables technology solution providers to establish the added value of digital edge and XR solutions. Through the development and demonstration of new services and technologies, the project aims to further enhance the competence of the metaverse ecosystem.

In particular, Industry X will tackle key barriers to adopting digital edge and XR technology in utilities, including edge computing, systems integration, and interoperability. The project focuses on strengthening Finnish companies and academia in becoming global leaders in edge-enabled research and technology within the industry 5G domain. This leadership will be realized on different fronts including academic research, product R&D, technology development and international collaboration including standardization.

The novelty of the project’s research lays in its approach to creating globally applicable, resource-efficient edge and XR solutions with versatile capabilities and technologies. Together, these enable system solutions in intensive industries to manage their data processing in line with future customer demands and service requirements.

Industry X is a 32-month Veturi 2.0 joint project led by Nokia ending in April 2025. The partners are Nokia Technologies, Danfoss Drives, Fastems, Finn-Power (Prima Power), Glaston, Pemamek, Raute, Vaski and three research groups from the University of Tampere. The project is coordinated by DIMECC. The total budget of the project is 16.3 million euros, and it is financed by Business Finland and the participating companies.
