The focus of our work is on collaborations with public innovation labs and educational institutions, ministries, federal and state offices, political foundations, as well as civil society initiatives and umbrella organizations.

Together, we create space for transformative innovation in decision-making processes, governance structures, and the establishment of cross-sector and cross-theme alliances, routines, and protocols, such as sustainability transformations, urban development, smart cities, critical or crisis infrastructures, data strategies, and more.
