At home in the hybrid world
Digitalisation brings with it both new opportunities and problems. We research and develop products and services to enable people and businesses to operate in a hybrid world as if they were at home, smoothly and safely.
The physical and virtual world seamlessly overlap with each other in people’s everyday lives, both at work and in spare time.
At home in the hybrid world is one of our four strategic themes.
Key research areas
The potential of XR technology
Cybersecurity
Digital services in the social and health sector
Virtual productions
Industrial metaverse
Autonomous shipping
Digitalisation offers a lot of opportunities in the social services sector. It enables more personalised care and more diverse services. Digital methods are not a substitute for people, but they can contribute to health, quality of life, cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction.
