DigiOne will alter the everyday life of schools and educational institutions to a significant extent. It will replace many services used for providing education in the seven cities that participate in developing DigiOne. Thanks to open interfaces, it will be easy to add services by public and commercial actors on the DigiOne service platform. The service platform will combine all the services required in education and learning into a single, easy-to-use package.

“In Espoo, DigiOne has been constantly developed in close cooperation with education experts to ensure its functionalities best serve the needs of users,” says Chief Digital Officer Harri Luttinen.

DigiOne facilitates the everyday lives of those working in the field of education in addition to providing a lot of valuable data on both learning and learners. What is essential is that the data on an individual student flow flexibly in the DigiOne service as the student passes from one educational level to another, and the data are available in a collected and easy-to-analyze format to all those that need them. Thanks to the shared platform and ecosystem, education arrangers can easily adopt different education-technology services available on the market. The aim is that the DigiOne platform-economy ecosystem will attract a significant number of new and innovative service providers in the future.

At the moment, the municipalities participating in developing DigiOne comprise more than a quarter of the population of Finland. Our aim is that 80 municipalities will be included in 2028.

The purpose of the DigiOne project is to build a novel education platform-economy ecosystem. Different services provided by education arrangers will be combined into a digital service platform that promote reforming the pedagogical operating culture. The ecosystem is developed to facilitate and improve the everyday lives of learners, teachers, principals, and other employees, as well as to promote learning, joint development, and non-discrimination. The services created in the project will be made available to all the municipalities of Finland as of 2024.
