Based on the lessons learned out of 4 Work Packages, the project delivers a playbook on the Flow Forward Approach and a road map on how to integrate this into innovation strategies.
Waterways and waterfronts are vital for the economy, ecology, and quality of life in the North Sea region. However, their changing and increasing shared use causes a decrease in safety, accessibility, and liveability. Connected River addresses those issues by, mobilizing multi-stakeholder ecosystems, conducting user centric, agile innovation, and accelerating the uptake of digital/smart solutions.
To move the Connected River project forward, a strong and experienced partnership has been established, comprising of host partners, that will be responsible for hosting and conducting the pilot projects, approach partners that provide expertise, methodologies and a strong knowledge network, and solution partners that will contribute business and subject knowledge to accelerate the project findings within the North Sea region.
Project Focus:
- Mobilizing multi-stakeholder ecosystems for user-centric, agile innovation
- Conducting user-centric, agile innovation on challenges that shared waterways & waterfronts face (ww&wfs)
- Accelerating the uptake of digital/smart solutions to improve services to stakeholders
- Carried out in 6 pilot regions (Amsterdam, Hamburg, Kleine Nete, Lille, Nijmegen & Vordingborg)
