Strengthening the innovation capacity for resilient and attractive NPA communities

The Arctic Edge project aims to strengthen supply chain operations in the NPA Region, addressing regional challenges. It will develop and implement a cloud-based, IoT, and MQTT technology-driven solution for rural manufacturing NPA SMEs, aiming to optimise supply chain processes. While existing technologies are available, their adoption, especially in SMEs' supply chains, remains limited. Arctic Edge's objective is to enhance efficiency, resilience, and adaptability in SMEs' supply chain operations, fostering a mental shift towards digital adoption. Project deliverables include a flexible digital architecture for improved internal operations and external supply chain interactions, personalised IoT solutions, comprehensive video content and educational materials. The project seeks to revolutionise supply chain practices within the NPA region by introducing innovative technologies and promoting their widespread application, particularly among rural manufacturing SMEs.
