Mmile is a structure for collaboration, integration, and scaling with one project at a time
Each activity area targets a distinct layer of the mobility and logistics challenge across land, sea and air — coordinated under one cluster strategy that turns research into deployable systems.
Nordic Aviation Resilience-project
Nordic airports are critical infrastructure for society. They safeguard mobility, security of supply and the operational capacity of public authorities — also in exceptional circumstances. At the same time, airport maintenance is facing growing challenges: workforce availability varies, weather conditions are becoming more demanding, and disruptions to satellite positioning create a new type of risk for critical operations. The new Nordic Aviation Resilience (NAR) project develops next-generation autonomous and remotely operated solutions to strengthen the reliability and resilience of airport maintenance operations. The work builds on autonomous maintenance solutions already deployed in the Nordics, including YetiMove technology currently in use at Oslo and Arlanda airports. The main objective is to strengthen the operational resilience of Nordic aviation infrastructure and ensure safe airport operations also during disruptions.Nordic airports are critical infrastructure for society.

Blå Snaravei
The project aims to create the right conditions for a future main project on waterborne autonomous public transport in Sweden and Norway. It will identify relevant test environments, requirements, stakeholders and a shared direction for sustainable and smart mobility. Blå Genväg is a preliminary project designed to prepare the ground for a cross-border main project on waterborne public transport using autonomous passenger ferries. The project will establish a joint Swedish-Norwegian knowledge base, identify potential test environments and shape a consortium that can move forward into a future main project.
Remote Operations
MMILE supports members working with remote-controlled, autonomous and semi-autonomous operations across maritime, airside, logistics and other transport environments.
Acceptance of Innovative Solutions
Technological development often moves faster than implementation in industry. Uncertainty among decision-makers, operators, regulators and the workforce can delay adoption, even when solutions are technically viable. MMILE works to build understanding and trust for automated systems, support behavioural change and decision processes, de-risk regulatory aspects and support adaptation of operational practices and job roles.
Multimodal Transport
Transport affects several modes, both for freight and urban mobility. MMILE addresses fragmented systems and works to help different systems communicate and function as a whole. The cluster focuses on bringing together the stakeholders needed to develop and implement multimodal transport solutions. This includes integration of energy systems, as electrification of vehicles and vessels requires coordinated access to charging infrastructure and energy supply.
Competence
MMILE members have different levels of maturity in collaboration and value-chain development. MMILE will provide a credible facilitation arena and bring in methodology related to innovation, support schemes, regulations, standards and guidelines. The goal is to increase understanding of the broader value chain and strengthen members’ development and commercialisation capability.
Market
MMILE will support coordinated profiling, visibility, market safaris and connections to European mobility and transport environments. The goal is to increase knowledge and recognition of automated solutions among relevant target groups and strengthen awareness of Norwegian companies’ competitive advantages.
Invest IN
Access to risk capital is described in the submitted application as a barrier to scaling. MMILE will connect Norwegian growth companies to investor markets, using its Finnish connection to strengthen access to arenas such as SLUSH Helsinki and other investor environments. The cluster’s goal is to reduce the gap between innovation and investment and support integrated solutions moving into the market.
