FUSK: Mainly hands-on people - although also someone who can talk to the city Blivande: Start-up entrepreneur-initiatives for future collaborations Institut for (X): People with data-collecting mindset, as we are searching for different approaches to gather figures in order to show the impact of X and similar initiatives
Required of people from X who enter the project:
Someone who knows of If(X)/Bureau Detours practises and methods, now and past
Community-builder/organisational mind: hence the topic of the project
Builder / hands-on skills with first-mover experience
Strategic experience of going from a temporary to permanent platform (lobbying)
Communication and coordination skills. Graphical skills, bearing in mind that the project and the outcomes needs to be translated back to X and it’s members (and the rapport)
Ping @Institutforx - moved the post here!
Btw, if more people from IfX are joining, it might be a good idea to have your account be your name/pseudonym
As I recall it there wasn’t that much underlying thought behind that beyond the wish to find more partners to collaborate with around Frihamnstorget in particular. Size-wise they would often be relatively small in order to fit in with the limited space (containers etc) that we’re working with.
I think one of our core strength at Blivande is as a launching pad for smaller projects/startsup.
As they outgrow our existing (physical) ecosystem their increased power/access to resources will in turn strengthen the ecosystem as a whole. For example by allowing us to expand our access to ground and real estate within Frihamnen (or other parts of the city or even the country). I think it will often be harder to convince enterprises that started elsewhere to join and collaborate a wholeheartedly as those that are “native” so to speak and co-evolved with us.
But yeah. again, just some loose thoughts. Indirectly and short-term the most valuable thing to us would probably be to grow closer ties with BoD (due to the Linköping project) and hook up with projects relating to urban farming/vertical farming and so on. We are attracting a lot of things within that sphere atm, from different directions.
