Exemplary topics include but are not limited to digital transformation strategies, AI management, innovation ecosystems, digital product design, and the impact on organizational and social transformation. Projects are expected to deliver conceptual designs or practical case studies demonstrating how digital technologies enable or embody the innovation process and its outcomes.
