We address social issues

We bring together people, ideas and initiatives that build a future where everyone can participate equally. Our projects focus on social themes such as community spirit, entrepreneurship, circular economy, digital inclusion and reciprocal participation.

Our services

We design, we experiment and we undertake - with and for communities, governments, education and businesses.

Training

We provide training on community development, entrepreneurial skills and equity in participation and communication, among other topics.

Investigative design processes

From user research to prototyping. With design thinking and a systemic approach, we help build your solution and create support for it together.

Community building

We believe in the power of community. With community design, program development and living labs, we build communities that make impact.

Placemaking & participation

We design and maintain physical spaces that truly meet the needs of their users. With community building, we realize vibrant incubators.

Social venture building

We develop platforms and business models focused on social problems. From developing the tech to business development and marketing.

Research & Knowledge

We come into contact with so many different people and perspectives every day. That's why we participate in research and work on knowledge development as a practice partner.  

A group of powerful partners

We prefer not to talk about clients or customers, but about partners in a shared task. We take ownership together, so that solutions do not get bogged down in plans, but lead to real change.

"Don't let setbacks stop you, but look for solutions and surround yourself with people who believe in you. Entrepreneurship is not just about money, but more importantly about helping people and creating value. Stay true to yourself and remember: limitations are only there if you accept them yourself. "
