Curious how AI is changing your shopping habits? Enjoy this blog post!
Three takeaways
🧐 AI isn’t the main tool (yet) for searching product information – search engines still rule
👜 Early signs in some categories, i.e. luxury
💻 As AI embeds in search & shopping tools, its role will grow

Interesting study about algae and bacteria! Here at Arcada in Helsinki, we are looking on how algae (seaweed) can be used as a sustainable material. Much to explore in our oceans 🧪🪸🧐

Take a reading break to celebrate the Baltic Sea Day, or join one of the public Baltic Sea Day activities 👉https://shorturl.at/fooHz
What is your action for the Baltic Sea today? 💙
🌊 A new project called WAVE, focusing on exploring marine biomass to promote circularity in the Nordic bioeconomy.
😎 Our solar panels, producing ~10% of our annual energy consumption, and our work on the UN's global sustainability goals are just two examples of our general sustainability actions.
🌾The Baltic Reed project is restoring coastal habitats and developing sustainable and profitable reed value chains for using the reed biomass.
🪸In addition to reeds, researchers and students are looking at how seaweed can be used as a sustainable material, for further valuable innovations.
Baltic Sea
Today we celebrate Baltic Sea Day! 🎉
But every day we take actions in our interdisciplinary research, development and innovation activities to benefit the unique Baltic Sea and its future. 💦🧪🔬
Let's give some examples of these actions:

🤔 Tech alone isn’t enough. What else is needed?
💬 “It’s time to talk about obesity as the chronic and complex medical condition it is – and face it with understanding, respect and evidence-based solutions.”
– Camilla Wikström-Grotell, Vice Dean at Arcada
🔬 Arcada joins the EU project PROMINENCE – working to develop better physiotherapy education to improve care for people living with obesity.
🧪 Together, we develop solutions that meet real-world needs and fight stigma.
