Digital Disruption of Industry
Multidisciplinary research project DDI
The Digital Disruption of Industry (DDI) -project studies the impacts of digitalization to the Finnish society through the lens of the industry. The next industrial revolution has already started with digitalization making it possible to create intelligent and networked products and produce significant added value. Over 40 professors and researchers are working together across disciplines and organisations to provide a holistic view on the change. The research is funded by the Strategic Research Council at the Academy of Finland. The project started late 2015 and will finish by spring 2021.
Participating organisations include Aalto University (lead), ETLA, LUT, University of Turku and VTT.
