How to solve complex challenges together That is the title of our #KiteLab Innovation Methodology that we presented today at Catalyst 2030 General Assembly. For the past year, at SustainableStartup&Co, we have been facilitating online and in-person #openinnovationlabs with Spanish public institutions such as Móstoles (along with MOSTOLES DESARROLLO), Diputación Provincial De Burgos, Diputacion Provincial de Ourense, Ayuntamiento De Rafelbunyol, Ayuntamiento de Almería Ciudad, or NetZeroCitiesEU's URBANEW's consortium. We have refined a methodology that has been tested over and over again, that has led to specific results such as the creation of implementation working groups, inter-institutional follow-up working sessions, and even a whole #entrepreneurshipaccelerator that is being implemented right now. We have been inspired by countless other methodologies and frameworks, and in that spirit, we have decided to condense our methodology in an #opensource #Toolkit that we make available to the wider community today under a #CreativeCommons Licence. Our mission is to transform the way #collaboration happens in every organisation and every ecosystem. We will be releasing further tools to help you in the journey of making the world a thriving and more sustainable place. We would love to know what you think about this toolkit, and how you are enabling transformative collaborations in your territories. Please post your impressions in the comments!

From July 4th to 7th, I joined fellow students in Istanbul for an unforgettable experience that wasn't just about cultural exchange but also about driving real change in sustainability.☘ The theme "Virtual Innovation for a Greener Future" wasn't just a discussion point it was a call to action. Over those few days, we looked into pressing environmental issues, brainstorming and collaborating on innovative solutions that could make a huge impact.✅ A huge thank you to ERBEŞ e.V. for organizing such a meaningful event and to all the participants for their enthusiasm and creativity. Here's to more initiatives that bring us together for the planet's future!🙏 #Sustainability #Innovation #CulturalExchange #GlobalCollaboration #GreenerFuture
