Different sources. One trusted picture.

Valo turns the outputs of independent sensors, APIs, and AI systems into a shared operational layer — in hours to days, not weeks to months.

Each connected source is immediately a provider for every other consumer — one integration, many systems.

For our civic demo, we connected 13 different data schemas into one operational system.

Connected data sources (live demo)

13 different data schemas, unified into one operational system in our public demo. Adding APIs that share an existing schema is incremental.

Transport & mobility

  • HSL real-time (stream)
  • Traffic API
  • Routing

Environment

  • FMI weather
  • Geospatial data

City & services

  • Service Map
  • Open311
  • Events

  • HRI catalog
  • Statistics

What we measure

The civic demo proves the substrate. The next four metrics shift the picture from how much data flows to how much can be trusted — entity stability, negative evidence, reconnection honesty, and fusion progression. These are the hardening tracks coming with the trust engine.

Real-time stream

Entity stability
Identity persistence, split & merge rates. The first signal serious operators look for.
In development
Negative evidence
Per-source coverage models. Expected signal absent becomes a meaningful observation.
In development
Reconnection honesty
When a source comes back, the UI shows backfill state — so the picture looks honest, not inconsistent.
In development
Provenance preserved
Every fused entity records which observations created it, with what weights — captured at write time.

Where Valo applies

Different audiences, same primitives. Today's strongest proof is civic; the same architecture extends into defence and critical infrastructure.

Proven today

Government & city operations

APIs exist across agencies and municipalities, but rarely talk to each other. Valo turns them into reusable data — proven on 13 different Helsinki-area data schemas in our public demo today.

  • One integration, many downstream systems
  • Cross-agency reuse without duplication
  • Discoverable data with provenance
Forward direction

Defence & multi-source operations

Drones, radar, RF, EO/IR, comms — independently developed, rarely interoperable. Valo connects them into one shared picture, with trust-aware operation as the next capability on the roadmap.

  • Multi-source operational picture
  • Cross-vendor by design — no lock-in
  • Federated: local sources stay local
  • Trust-aware operation under stress (in development)
Adjacent fit

Critical infrastructure

Power, water, transit, ports — each runs its own systems. Valo brings them onto a shared operational layer without forcing anyone onto one platform.

  • Cross-domain situation awareness
  • Independent systems stay independent
  • Real-time visibility across operators

Architecture principles

Adapters stay flexible. Fusion becomes rigorous.

Shared meaning before shared interfaces

Data is normalized into a common structure before it is exchanged.

Connect once, reuse everywhere

Each source integrates once and becomes reusable across systems.

Sensitive access stays under customer control

Protected systems are accessed through controlled connectors and delegated authority.

Centralize distribution, localize authority

High-bandwidth streams can be shared, while sensitive access remains local.

Built for federation, not silos

Systems act as both providers and consumers in a shared layer.

Policy travels with data

Access, classification, and provenance remain attached to data.

Useful alone, better together, safe when wrong

Each component works independently and improves when connected.

Valo is not another system

Not a sensor platform Not a data dashboard Not an API gateway

Valo is the interoperability layer that allows systems to work together in real time.

Building the foundation for interoperable systems

Valo focuses on enabling coordination between independent systems across operational and governmental environments.
