Center for Digital Business

Center for Digital Business (CDB) is a center for leading, exciting, and independent research on topics such as eBusiness Management, Entertainment Services, and Mobile Business. The research is conducted in cooperation with companies such as Avantra, Daydream Software, Paregos, Noblestar, and Telia ProSoft, and it aims at producing knowledge relevant for the associated companies as well as at contributing to the innovative capacity of the region as a whole.

CDB is a joint endeavor undertaken by the Department of Informatics at Umeå University, and Umeå School of Business and Economics. We are funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, Daydream Software, the European Union’s Regional Development Fund, Municipality of Umeå, and Noblestar.

One of our main objectives is to be an active part of society. Our interests become the companies we work for and their interests. We want to reach out to the companies that put in the leg work, that struggle with advancements, skilled employees, and alternative methods to running a successful business. Therefore, we are interested in getting in touch with printing companies, research groups, publishers, teachers and students, who are interested in exploring the consequences of e-commerce and new Internet-technology for individuals, organizations, and society. Send an email to Per Levén, our research manager, and we will contact you.
