In order to facilitate a green transition, and to make cities more resilient to environmental change, the Polish Development Fund and Nordic Edge are collaborating to develop new tools for greener cities.

Based on the experience from an innovation process involving 3 municipalities from Poland and 1 from Norway, we will share tools and best practices, and put these to use in this workshop. Applying the principles from design-driven innovation, the workshop participants will gain a better understanding of both the innovation process in general and specific tools to be used in the different stages.

This workshop will be particularly useful for participants who are concerned with how we can use technology and innovation to solve societal challenges related to the green transition.
