University of Vaasa

The Digital Economy research platform of the University of Vaasa is an open research environment for research on innovations that utilise new technologies as well as their impact on individuals, organisations, industry and the whole society from a multidisciplinary perspective. Research subjects include AI, machine learning, regulation in the digital age, and the impact of digitalisation on ways of working and communicating. At the moment, the University of Vaasa has three multidisciplinary and phenomenon-based research platforms: the VEBIC (Vaasa Energy Business Innovation Centre) research platform of energy and sustainable development, the Digital Economy research platform, and the Innovation and Entrepreneurship InnoLab research platform. The two other research platforms also have their own advisory boards with representatives of the University's stakeholders as members. Phenomenon-based research platforms complete the University of Vaasa's faculty-specific research and open up our doors to the surrounding society.
