Where we come from

Part of a proven research lineage

EDTW is an initiative of the Osservatori Digital Innovation, the applied-research group of the School of Management of Politecnico di Milano.

It inherits decades of independent, data-driven analysis and channels it into a single, pan-European mission, watching, measuring and guiding Europe’s digital transformation.
