The Sustainability InnoCenter (SIC) is a Uppsala-based non-profit organisation that serves as a community platform for young professionals, entrepreneurs, academics, and innovative thinkers who are committed to supporting the United Nations sustainability agenda. SIC is driven by the goal of exploring new concepts and ideas related to sustainability, climate awareness, public engagement, and social challenges. To achieve this, SIC uses open innovation and new idea generation processes to develop innovative products and services that have a positive impact. The SuCoLo project will leverage the partner’s expertise in sustainable development, community engagement strategies (such as participatory design), and open innovation approaches (including city-driven innovation). These competencies are the result of the partner’s long standing activities in new idea development, advisory services, research, and cross-sector collaboration. Furthermore, SIC’s strong connections and collaborations with Swedish cities, such as Gävle and Malmö, will enhance the project’s effectiveness.
