The City as a Lab – training program con el WB – Aalto – Barcelona y muchos otros

City As A Lab AgendaEstas últimas semanas hemos estado preparando muchas cosas alrededor de la Smart City Expo. Pero entre ellas una ha centrado nuestra atención.

Es un training program de una semana de duración que hacemos juntamente con el World Bank, la Universidad Finlandesa de Aalto y la Ciudad de Barcelona. Es un programa donde tenemos la suerte de contar con la colaboración de mucha gente de Barcelona y de fuera sin la cual sería imposible, entre ellos Anteverdi, CitiLab, BcnLab, Urban Lab, FabLab, Ateneus de Fabricació y Barcelona Activa.

Es uno de los programas de los que estamos más orgullosos, sus objetivos son:

Transmit and discuss key ideas and strategies around Open Innovation in cities, particularly on the management of public-private ecosystems with a mix of actors that compete and collaborate, for profit and non-for-profit, large corporations and individual developers or ordinary citizens.

Develop a how-to competence in the co-creation of projects using Design Thinking methodologies through cases selected and provided by the participants that will be developed in deep through the whole 5 day program.

Provide a hands-on experience with leading examples of Open Innovation organizations in Europe through visits, presentations that engage with the themes and workshops on how to translate this experience to the environment of participants.

Meet and network with key leaders in the European scene on Open Innovation in the Public Sector, not only from Barcelona but also from the rest of Europe through in deep dialogues and opportunities for informal discussions around coffee breaks, dinners and networking exercises.
