The Digi Breakfasts are arranged by the Digi Platform which is Aalto's new means of collaboration in the field of ICT and digitalisation, to maximize Aalto's internal synergies in a non-exclusive manner, and to increase Aalto's external visibility. The Digi Breakfast meetings will help to find themes into which Aalto's resources could be directed in the field of digitalization.

Digitalization is having a tremendous effect in today's and tomorrow's industries, economics and society at large. Digitalization is a key strong area at Aalto University: ICT, media, computation and modelling have been identified as areas of strong expertise in Aalto's RAE 2009 evaluation. There are about 80 professors at Aalto directly focused on ICT and media, and another 80 are in fields strongly related to digitalization. Topics include, but are not limited to: computer science, media, computational sciences, networks, communications, signal processing, automation, mechatronics, games, information and service economy, and so on. Joining forces across Aalto we can achieve a significant impact in several fields. See more at http://www.aalto.fi/en/research/platforms/digi/
