Nokia has been selected to lead PROACTIF, an EU project involving 42 European tech firms from 13 countries with the aim of boosting drone and robotics autonomy on the continent.
42 partners and four affiliates from 13 countries are involved, and the focus is on critical infrastructure surveillance and emergency management in Europe. It is funded by the European Union’s Chips Joint Undertaking.
The consortium expects to generate around €90 million in revenue, 50 products, and more than 15 new industry patents by 2035, ‘enabling increased market share and leadership.’ The project also intends to generate new collaborations, hundreds of jobs, and over €40 million of additional investments.
