Mobilize to form programme

In connection with the inauguration of Impact Innovation, a mobilization process is starting which is aimed at all actors who plan to apply for the offer to develop programme within Impact innovation. The purpose of the mobilization process is to set the framework for what is expected of the prospective programs and to provide opportunities to develop program ideas and actor networks.

Starting with three conferences

A starting point for the mobilization is three conferences at three different times and places, but with the same content. Choose the location that suits you best.

The first conference is held in connection with the opening in Stockholm. It is fine to follow the inauguration digitally and then attend the conferences at one of the later dates.

What is Impact Innovation?
