The we_change tour of 2017 just ended it's last event in the city of Eskilstuna. This means that between 8,000 and 10,000 young people and large organizations, such as IKEA, H&M, SEB, and Sida, have been using the innovation platform Co-tunity. Many thanks to Rebecca, Kim, Lucella, and Jenni who managed the project on behalf of Ungdomar.se - part of the Fryshuset.

We are very pleased with the collaboration, says project manager Rebecca Bergman: "With Cotunity, we got a digital meeting place where participants can share, hook up and build on each other's ideas - and then make things happen."

Take a closer look at how the steel producer Celsa used Co:tunity to gather and develop idéas on how to reduce the company’s climate impact:

“A platform for thinking together, sharing ideas and working on concept realization” was what Magotteaux, a world-leading supplier of process optimization products and services for high-abrasion extracting industries, was looking for when they found our innovation platform Co:tunity. They had been talking to other suppliers but hadn’t found a platform that met all the requirements, especially the concept realization-part.

– At our end, we’ve already been discussing if we should add functionality covering idea realization when Magotteaux contacted us, says Trond Bugge, Director of Collaborative Innovation at Co:tunity. It was a perfect fit, we were both looking for the same thing. After some initial idea sharing over web meetings, we decided to meet for a two-day workshop covering service design and rapid prototyping in Liége, Belgium.

– We found the Co:tunity-team to be very dynamic and willing to propose a modern solution to our problem. I very much appreciated our two days with the team, where we had the chance to define our requirement and construct a mock-up of the solution. Currently we are working on implementing Co:tunity in the organization, but I’ve already received feedback from my colleagues saying it’s surprisingly easy to use, says Benjamin Deliege, project manager at Magotteaux.
