DRIVE PR – Data-Driven Product Realisation-Phase 1
Research Project, 2026 – 2029

DRIVE PR strengthen the competitiveness of the Swedish manufacturing industry through data-driven product realization. The goal is to develop and demonstrate how the use of advanced digital infrastructure in a digital product realization process can reduce costs associated with risk, uncertainty and variation by 50%. This will lead to increased competitiveness and sustainable innovation as well as learning and scalability in the consortium and for the Swedish manufacturing industry.
