What is digital platforms?

Digital platforms are technology-based frameworks or environments that provide a foundation for multiple users, applications, or services to interact and share resources. They typically facilitate interactions between different groups, such as producers and consumers, or among different applications and systems. Examples include social media platforms, e-commerce marketplaces, cloud computing platforms, and mobile app ecosystems. They are commonly used to create and deliver value by connecting people, organizations, and resources, enabling collaboration, and streamlining processes.
