Environmental requirements for the ICT sector are becoming stricter – the new ICT EnergyLife+ project helps companies and procurers prepare for change

Energy consumption and environmental impacts in the ICT sector are growing rapidly. At the same time, EU regulation is becoming stricter and demand for more sustainable products and services is increasing. The new Green ICT project ICT EnergyLife+ responds to these challenges by helping companies and procurement organisations develop and purchase ICT solutions that are more energy-efficient, repairable, modular and longer-lasting.

DATASTEP to support data‑driven development among SMEs in Uusimaa

The use of data in SMEs is still at an early stage, which slows the development of solutions that can scale internationally. In Uusimaa, this is reflected in the relatively small number of data driven growth companies. The newly launched DATASTEP project strengthens SMEs’ data economy skills and the role of RDI actors in supporting data driven business. The goal is to accelerate company growth and increase the region’s attractiveness to international actors.
