The Digital Ecosystems Project is bringing together people from ORUA and the wider Faculty of Engineering alongside Te Pūnaha Matatini (TPM) and the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) to form partnerships with communities and co-design and co-produce digital ecosystems. These digital ecosystems empower communities with cutting edge digital technologies, enhance their autonomy and support them to flourish.
