The main objective is a strategy for more effective collaboration and mission-driven development with the business community in order to solve the sustainability challenges of cities, supported by test beds in an urban context. As societal challenges become more complex, more effective tools for sustainable urban and community development are needed in Örebro and Linköping. The main challenge is to find completely new and applicable forms of collaboration with industry that create the conditions for challenge-driven and, above all, joint innovation based on societal challenges. The pre-study will focus on the development of inclusion of business actors within the two municipal innovation systems with the support of regional innovation support systems where region, municipality and academy are included in slightly different configurations. In such a collaboration with the business community, we need more effective tools that open up for innovative solutions and services in sustainable urban development.
