About GovTech Sweden
The Challenge
The City Council of Gothenburg decided that Gothenburg should not have any exclusion areas by 2025. GovTech Sweden, Drivhuset Göteborg, Vocean, Yesbox and Framtiden wanted to join forces to reach that goal. With the question "How do we create the world's best place for children and young people to grow up in" we wanted to Engage for Change and involve children, young people, civil society, entrepreneurs, adults who work with children and young people in the areas, and even in the whole world. The goal was shared. We now wanted to give more people a voice. And then co-create based on the ideas to enable the best solutions.
The Solution
We created and implemented the World's Largest Workshop. The world's largest because the digital innovation platform enabled everyone to participate. The world's largest because it lasted for five months. The world's largest because it was about a globally important challenge and vision. With great commitment and heart from people, we collected 300 ideas in one month that everyone could follow in real time. Through the Innovation Lab during Sweden's Innovation Week, we co-created with the ideas and developed 10 different clusters, again through people's commitment and Vocean's digital strategic support. In and between these clusters, mutual understanding was created with the help of the 300 ideas and the nearly 5000 interactions were given the opportunity to review results together, meet the challenge together and drive innovation. The result was: Future Bus, Future Sailing and Skill Bank.
