Mission

The techno-economic research portal unites relevant research groups in the field of techno-economics, across boundaries of disciplines, application domains and countries. It is a gateway to generic methodologies, useful tools, frameworks and international literature.

Techno-economic research uses a multi-disciplinary approach to provide evidence-based responses to the implications of technological ICT innovation on economic, political and social developments. It relies on a portfolio of both qualitative and quantitative research experience on multiple application domains, such as networking, media, health, smart cities and manufacturing.
