Impact Innovation: Preparatory project for a reformed public sector in 2026

Planned for MAR 2026

SustainGov funds preparatory projects where the public sector collaborates to identify new ways of working in four focus areas; complex care needs, inclusive society, food security and renewed relationship between citizens and the public sector. The projects will analyze how a more proactive and systems-oriented public sector can improve health and well-being for all citizens, within the limits of the planet. The projects will propose a concrete next step. SustainGov is part of the Impact Innovation initiative.
