Technological innovation

Firmly driven by a market pull approach, our initiatives address concrete market needs by bringing together multilateral consortia around key industry challenges.
This unique dynamic enables the pooling of investments, the capitalization on shared feedback, and the development of common technological building blocks across strategic focus areas such as:

• Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence,
• Augmented Engineering for Critical Systems,
• Industrial Cybersecurity,
• Digital Twins.

With this use-case-driven approach, SystemX effectively supports high-stakes sectors — including defense, automotive, aerospace, and energy — by accelerating the digital transformation of complex systems.
Complementing more academic and technology-push approaches, our model is built on a majority industrial governance, ensuring pragmatic, market-oriented, and directly exploitable R&D.

A unique collaboration model

Our R&D projects are built on close cooperation between large corporations, innovative SMEs, start-ups, academic researchers, and research engineers from IRT SystemX. This collaborative environment provides each stakeholder with fertile ground to turn ideas into concrete, industrializable solutions.

Our institute has strong expertise in coordinating large research and innovation ecosystems, and the capacity to rapidly launch robust projects aligned with international standards.
