Toteutustapa

This Digital Marketing and Sales project will be carried out as a P2P project in co-operation with key partners Senior Lecturer Asko Mononen, Digital Living Lab Laurea Leppävaara and Doctor Zhang from Kuntai Robotics in Zhejiang, China. Other potential partners are HAMK University of Applied Sciences, Hämeenlinna (Finland) and Zhejiang University (China).

The 3 project objectives:

Firstly, this project will start by designing the project model P2P to be applicable for online learning in Finland – China composition. (Zhejiang is an eastern coastal province of China. Its capital and largest city is Hangzhou.)

Secondly, this project will prepare a Living Lab concept implementation plan for exoskeleton living lab. The principles of Service Design and Living Labs concept are to focus as well as exoskeletons. All these will be studied within this project. You will gain insights into how benchmarking will benefit your implementation plan. We will have an earlier case for benchmark: Forge Academy, South Africa.

Thirdly, understanding the business culture of China. We finish with an overview of the
China's Business Culture and Etiquette. It is always wise to know ahead of time what is deemed appropriate and what is not when visiting a foreign land, especially when it comes to business etiquette and interactions. We will learn some useful tips to China’s business culture and etiquette for smooth sailing and pleasant business communications with clients and colleagues.

The Project objectives and principles will be defined in client briefing which will be held in August.

Project background:
This project is a part of collaboration with partners in Finland and China. The first phase of the collaboration was a project “Developing wearable intelligence learning environment – WeaLE”. The active part of it started in January 2021 with content learning and trip preparations. Due to pandemic, the first networking trip took place as late as May 2023. The next step is to develop further collaboration for mutual advantage.

What are the benefits of living labs?
A Living lab enabler facilitates research and teaching and learning projects over the long term. They can be thought of as a class of research infrastructure that are embedded in the real world and can be used for multiple experiments.
