The partnership will strengthen the conditions for using innovations that contribute to increased resilience. The goal is to map the innovation ecosystems, identify common challenges and needs. This will result in a common agenda and roadmap for continued collaboration.

Expected effects and result

The feasibility study will provide a common picture of the needs and opportunities of the ecosystems, as well as knowledge about how innovative companies can be introduced actors needed and which obstacles need to be addressed. The results will form the basis for a common agenda, roadmap, and financing strategy.In the longer term, this can strengthen partnerships and international networks, and facilitate the use of innovations to meet identified needs and contribute to increased resilience

Planned approach and implementation

Founders Loft and Inclusive Business Partners conduct the feasibility study together with APBA.Through interviews and workshops, the ecosystems are mapped and common resilience challenges are prioritized. Three innovation cases are then examined together with the actors to assess needs, introduction paths and obstacles. Inclusive Business Partners analyzes learning and potential resilience and societal impacts. Finally the results are compiled into a common agenda, roadmap and financing strategy
