Most of the challenges that exist in society today are not limited to a sector or a certain type of actor group. Solving complex societal challenges and implementing Agenda 2030 requires collaboration across sectors.

We want to support the development of new solutions, and create conditions for them to be able to contribute to changing structures and entire systems in the long run.
