The challenges of our society and environment cut across multiple sectors and value chains. One company or sector alone can have only a limited impact on solving our sustainability problems. To be successful we need more cooperation, openness and trust between firms, industries, communities, citizens, and public institutions. Platforms and ecosystems can be a powerful driver to orchestrate more sustainable and inclusive solutions, from healthcare to mobility, agrifood, and many others. In the session we will share a framework that can guide the development of sustainable ecosystems, with concrete examples and cases.
