Purpose and goal
The aim of the project is to establish long-term research and innovation collaborations between Flox in Sweden and American actors in AI and digital infrastructure for airports, with a focus on California. The goal is to identify relevant partners, develop at least two concrete collaboration ideas, and develop a pilot scheme for Flox Edge at a larger airport in Bay Area.
Expected effects and result
The project is expected to lead to established collaborations with US airports and technology players, a concrete pilot scheme for AI-based wildlife control, and a draft for a larger bilateral R&I project (stage 2). The impacts include strengthened Swedish AI exports, reduced wildlife incidents at airports, and improved safety, efficiency, and climate performance in airport operations.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is carried out in three phases: preparations, stay in Silicon Valley and follow-up work. First, relevant American actors are mapped and meetings are planned. Then, a 1–3 week stay in Silicon Valley is carried out in connection with NVIDIA GTC 2026, with meetings and workshops. Finally, results are compiled, follow-up meetings are held and concrete project tracks and pilot schemes are developed.
