Innovative production processes devised by the Department of Production Economics at the University of Vaasa conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impacts. In the dissemination of innovations and technologies, research and education play a crucial role. This will be investigated via the InnoLab and Digital Economy research platforms, as well as the marketing and communication disciplines.
