I’m Victoria Palacin (DSc. Tech), a technology leader and researcher based in Helsinki working at VTT. 

Over the past decade, I’ve worked across industry and research, building impact with data and AI. I’ve led expert teams, built and scaled data businesses, and overseen market entries. My work has spanned across Nordic retail, manufacturing, and energy, bringing AI-powered services and decision-support systems into everyday use.

I also have a research background at the intersection of data science and technology design. I hold a Doctor of Technology in Human-Computer Interaction from LUT University and have held research fellowships and roles with the University of Helsinki, the University of Toronto, the United Nations Digital Government Division, and the MIT Media Lab. My research has explored crowdsourced environmental monitoring, future human–data interfaces, and digital public infrastructures.

I seek to build technology that improves the world.
