Important results from the project
The project has validated Mobitrax´s anonymization technology at scale on Swedish mobility data, showing that movement patterns can be analyzed without identifying individuals. A US market analysis was conducted via the Telecom Council network, including pitches to operators and a demo model of San Francisco. An API proposal was developed to offer the technology as a service to partners. The project also points out a market opportunity: a European alternative to American mobility data providers.
Expected long term effects
In the long term, Mobitrax is expected to strengthen its position in privacy-preserving mobility data handling, with potential to contribute to a European alternative to dominant American data providers. The validated technology and API create conditions for partnerships with mobile operators and other value-chain actors. The network built in the US provides continued access to international collaborations. The project thus contributes to increased European competitiveness and data sovereignty.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out in four work packages: US market analysis, prototype testing, a roundtable discussion during Almedalen Week, and a summary and strategic plan. The overall structure was largely followed as planned, but finding the right entry point in the US market took longer than expected, despite support from an external partner. Building relationships with other startups/scaleups proved to be a more effective route to market than direct customer contact.
