With over 160 applications, IndX sets a new benchmark and a growing list of initiated collaborations. To date, 80 companies have been introduced to IndX partners Husqvarna Group, Toyota Material Handling, Saab, and Väderstad, with ongoing dialogue with 10 of them.
The impact of these connections is already visible. For instance, Wearhealth, which participated in IndX last year, teamed up with both Väderstad and Husqvarna Group to test their wearable in real-world operations. Another example is T&S Engineering Intelligence extending their collaboration that started back in 2020 with former partner Siemens Energy.

The marketing and communication have also been adjusted to address the partners’ challenges more clearly and set the right expectations from the start.
“At our IndX Days, partners and startups dive deeper—exploring opportunities for proof of concepts, joint initiatives, or invitations to special events. Creating a forum for these connections is one of the secret ingredients and we are taking these learnings with us when entering the next year,” says Robin Eriksson, Program Manager IndX.
What’s next?
Before wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, plans for the upcoming IndX year are being finalized, featuring an updated format and a new partner entering, going from four to five partners.
The upcoming focus themes for 2025 will be:
- Operations & Innovation in 20th of May
- Product & Innovation in 14th of November
