Helsinki coCreationcamp - 22 & 23 May 2012

Open Helsinki / co-creation !

coCreationcamp is a platform for expanding innovation, allowing the connections between public sector, private corporations and creative people. At the intersection zone of these three positions (people, public, private) the innovation landscape can develop in interesting ways. The involvement of people can and will allow the expansion of innovative solutions for a better world.



#cocrea12 will be the hashtag for the coCreationcamp (s) taking place in 2012 ! See you in Milano, Helsinki, Paris, Copenhagen, Brussels, Torino. Do get in touch to be involved.

Let's open innovation. Let's open design. Let's open change.

Practices / co-creation

coCreationcamp is a sharing network involving private and public stakeholders as well as creative people and innovation experts, from the worlds of design, academia and think-tanks. The combined vision of these different players will allow prototype innovative solutions for expanding the palette of human-centered practices. Each slot (P for People, for Public, for Private, for Platform) will allow speakers to share different positions and interact with participants. Join the conversations ! The speakers will take part actively during the day, interacting with others point of view, bringing critical discourse, reframing issues and approaches.

Let’s open innovation / co-creation

Private corporations like Philips, Procter & Gamble, Nokia, ... are opening up innovation modalities, especially in the R&D phases. A number of companies are also looking to tap into the creative input at the market level. In parallel, public institutions in Denmark, in Finland, ... are exploring new collaboration models, empowering and engaging everyday people.

Some questions which will be investigated during the coCreationcamp are :
How can we define value, specifically in systems where co-creation is key?
Can value be defined upfront before engaging in the process?
How can sustainable and systemic input and value be measured?
Can co-creation offer new ways of increasing, sharing or rapidly creating value?
How do we provide people with the means and tools to create their own solutions?

Let's add your questions and explore co-creation routes.

Perspectives / co-creation

coCreationcamp is an enabling infrastructure for the generation of ideas and hence is playing a catalyst role. coCreation helps the innovation mechanisms by designing and producing "with" people, and not only "for" people.Why is "co-creation" everywhere ? is it ? What are the dimensions ? in which contexts ? for which stakeholders ?
