The NUEI project brings together leading research groups from four Nordic universities—University of Helsinki, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Aarhus University, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology—whose combined expertise spans the full range of the identified research topics. By connecting these strong academic environments, NUEI strengthens Nordic competitiveness and promotes the development of excellent Nordic research ecosystems. In addition, the project works closely with industry and society through centres of excellence and flagship initiatives to increase awareness of edge intelligence and to demonstrate the benefits of decentralized AI systems across the Nordic region.
