We specialize on developing IT-tools and systems, conducting trainings, research and consulting activities, media production and blended learning. Production of innovative and successful learning content is close to our hearts. 

Digility considers it very important to: (1) Develop and promote understanding of benefits of digital tools among wider population. Ability to be a true digital native helps people to take advantage of various opportunities in today’s society (2) Develop new digital tools. Digitalization can help us to conduct learning and our daily activities in more effective ways than until now. New digital tools help to use our time more efficiently and help us go to achieve better results in our business and daily lives. (3) Understand innovative trends. Innovation and creativity are driving our societies further. It is very important to embrace these trends and to find ways how to innovate successfully. (4) Embrace entrepreneurial opportunities. Taking business risks can be challenging for many, but at the same time it is potentially also very rewarding. Business is taking economy of Finland further and adequate support to people taking entrepreneurial risks helps them to succeed with their business endeavours. (5) Keep oneself mentally and physically fit. Mental health challenges are becoming more and more common among various groups in Finnish society. Particularly immigrants are more vulnerable to these challenges, as they often do not have such a strong support network from their families as native Finns. It is important to provide tools to overcome mental health challenges and guidance and mentorship to reduce challenges of marginalization in Finnish society. 

Our team is focused on creating teaching and audiovisual materials, IT-solutions and tools for effective and resultative teaching activities. We also have long-term experience in project management and dissemination activities.
