DIGILE sees ICT based digital services as being the largest market of the ICT industry, which is why DIGILE is focused on promoting the development of digital service know-how for business needs. Ever smarter services are also a means of increasing the productivity of work. DIGILE believes that Finland is perfectly placed to become a frontrunner in the construction and harnessing of digital services, as well as turning services into a major export to the global market. DIGILE’s overriding aim is to further increase the pace of development of Finnish know-how, which in turn will ensure growth of the business activities of the whole sector, and therein the creation of new jobs. As one of Finland’s Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation (SHOKs) – DIGILE’s role is not only to bring together and systematise research and development, but also to ensure that the results of research are understood, applied and adopted as part of companies’ business practice faster than ever before. In addition to ICT know-how, DIGILE also seeks to apply new innovation know-how in all that it does in order to increase the competitiveness of all the services.
