For Cities
Scout and procure innovation better, boost collaboration in your city and successfully design urban testbeds from the start.
We empower public change-makers.
Driving change needs capacity, trust and good partnerships. We help you get there.
Cities need a capable, agile and networked public sector. Our experts have worked in government and on many of the world’s leading public sector innovation programs and urban testbeds. That’s going to be our starting point in working with you.
What we offer
Find below our main service offers for Cities and Public Sector.
-
Identify the right solutions before they go to market.
We help you explore emerging technologies and startups that align with your city’s priorities — before the tender stage. Our curated scouting and engagement formats allow you to assess fit, reduce procurement risk, and shape the market toward your real needs.
-
Design, launch, and manage challenges that drive results.
From defining the right problem to selecting the right partners, we support you in turning urban challenges into actionable calls for innovation. Whether you're testing climate tech, mobility pilots, or digital services, we help structure challenge processes that attract quality responses and deliver measurable learning.
-
Translate vision into a roadmap — and build buy-in along the way.
We work closely with innovation departments and city labs to shape strategic plans that align stakeholders, timelines, and budgets. Whether you’re launching a new initiative or refining an existing one, our role is to help you turn ambition into a shared, actionable strategy that can adapt as you grow.
-
Upskill teams and spark momentum through peer learning.
We co-design custom learning journeys for policy makers, department heads, and innovation leads. These sessions combine insights from leading ecosystems, practical case studies, and interactive formats that build team capacity and shared language across departments.
Why work with us?
We understand how cities work.
Our team brings deep experience working inside and alongside city systems. We know how to navigate internal priorities, shifting mandates, and complex timelines — and we adapt to your realities while helping you move things forward.
Work with the right partners.
We curate strategic relationships across startups, researchers, funders, and ecosystem allies — local and international. Whether you’re launching a new initiative or scaling an existing one, we help you connect with partners who are mission-aligned and ready to collaborate.
Flexible support, built around your goals.
No fixed models or cookie-cutter programs. We co-design each engagement to match your needs — from framing the right challenge to launching pilots or aligning internal teams. Our hands-on approach means we stay with you from idea to implementation.
