On-going Societal Innovation projects

One ambition of Digital Futures is to generate societal impact, and here with the focus on the broader area of Stockholm, to work together with public stakeholders like the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm. Due to the role of these and other public stakeholders, innovation through digital transformation comes with a different set of opportunities – scale being an important one – addressing different challenges. Societal Innovation Projects are the project form in Digital Futures that address this special constellation and needs.

Successful Societal Innovation Projects will bring together actors from the academic, industrial and public space – triple helix model of innovation – define a promising scope of introducing digital technologies in the public sector, and demonstrate a path towards wide-scale adoption in the triple helix constellation.
