Co-creation
Forum Virium Helsinki is a project organization and our projects are mainly carried out with national or EU funding. In this page you’ll find more information on co-creation as an innovation method.
Co-creation
Co-creation is our method of developing new services for citizens. We bring the city, companies, research institutes and citizens to the same table to plan a new innovative urban solution. Citizens are often the end-users of your innovation. We can offer you a vast pool of citizens from Helsinki, who are interested in co-creation and testing your product. When you develop your innovation in co-creation, you get the valuable user experience from the whole city ecosystem.
