About mission-oriented approach to innovation
The challenges facing today's society are both complex and everyday, but also global and local. Whether they are about poverty, climate change or inequalities in health, individual, private or sector-specific, individual efforts are not enough. Changes are required at the system level. If we are to achieve a sustainable future in time, we must think and cooperate in new ways.
A mission-oriented approach can contribute to this, where different actors work in the same direction towards common objective and enable the conditions and lead the way to system changes.
A mission-oriented approach aims to achieve system change through active participation. Actors from different sectors, industries and disciplines come together to design and design a bold, ambitious, inspiring and measurable objective that addresses a major challenge, a guiding star, around which several project and activities can co-create. The goal must have an effect on society and politics, but also be relevant to a large part of the population. This helps to make it concrete, relevant and testable, through prototypes and demonstrators.
