TRANSFORM-AI
Project description
TRANSFORM-AI is a Strategic Research Council funded project operating under the Academy of Finland. The project examines why Finland’s strong expertise, technological capabilities, and innovative ideas do not consistently translate into sustainable growth, productivity, and societal well-being. By investigating decision-making environments, organizational practices, intangible capital, and AI adoption, TRANSFORM-AI develops evidence-based frameworks that help organizations foster innovation, create new value, and support long-term renewal and growth. Through a multidisciplinary collaboration involving researchers, policymakers, businesses, investors, and educational institutions, the project aims to ensure that AI serves as an enabler of transformation rather than merely optimizing existing practices. At the University of Jyväskylä's Department of Education, we research how individuals, organizations, and society can develop the skills and competencies needed in the age of AI and digital transformation. Our work focuses on lifelong learning, leadership, working life, competitiveness, career development, and the alignment of education and employment to support innovation, renewal, and sustainable growth.
