Integrating platform competences toward network effects

IPLATE (Integrating platform competences toward network effects) is a research project prompted by the success and disruption by digital platforms, platform companies and platform‐based business models.
The project approaches platforms as an interactive, collaborative marketplace: integrating technical competences with creating business from understanding the value creation possibilities within the platform. The project addresses the need to strengthen competences of Finnish companies while also supporting Finnish policy makers in understanding the possibilities of instruments at their disposal for facilitating life in platform economy.
