""As a typical 'general-purpose technology,' digital technology is comprehensively integrating into various fields and processes of human economy, politics, culture, society, and ecological civilization with new concepts, new business formats, and new models. It has had a wide and profound impact on human production and life, and has become a key force in reconfiguring global factor resources, reshaping the global economic structure, and changing the global competitive landscape.

The FT-RIDE is an international collaborative research institution jointly established by Fudan University in China and the Toulouse School of Economics in France. Our mission is to understand the opportunities and challenges brought by the rapid development of the digital economy for society, organizations, and individuals, enabling people from all nations to better and more fully share the benefits of digital economic development.

We aims to build a top domestic and world-class platform for innovation and digital economy research, bringing together interdisciplinary research teams with international perspectives. We conduct theoretical research, applied research, and policy research in six major research directions. We serve the strategy of innovation-driven development, digital economic development, and the major needs of Chinese-style modernization, promoting both theoretical innovation and practical applications in the digital economy.""
