Program overview
A recurring series of short stage sessions, rapid introductions, and clear next steps for decision-makers, founders, and organizations looking for new shared initiatives.
Site visits, mini-projects, and mentoring that connect students with local companies and show how ideas can turn into real assignments, career paths, and new ventures.
A platform for late-open evenings, temporary formats, public installations, and shared promotion that gives more reasons to stay longer, explore, and shop locally.
A working model for opening more space for new voices, smaller organizations, and entrepreneurs who need a clearer route into the city’s established networks.
Calendar focus
Season anchor
This year’s format links breakfast meetings, pop-up moments, cultural evenings, and family-friendly stations into one connected experience where every participating actor is more visible than it would be on its own.
The goal is not just to fill the calendar, but to make different times of day and different audiences overlap more intelligently. That creates longer visits, more encounters, and a stronger sense of a living centre.
Become a co-hostImpact and follow-up
This year’s direction
The combined setup makes it easier to coordinate resources, give more actors a clear role, and build continuity between one-off events and longer-running programs.
Practical effect
When a new actor comes in through an event, the next step already exists through mentoring, network sessions, or a collaboration space. That reduces the drop-off between inspiration and action.
City life
When retail, education, culture, and civic groups coordinate messaging and timing, they create a stronger public presence. Visitors experience a whole rather than a set of disconnected parts.
Take part
Every activation becomes stronger when more people contribute venue access, knowledge, audiences, or delivery capacity. Choose the role that fits your organization and step into a format already in motion.
Offer a shop, studio, school, or venue as part of a shared city route or public program.
Lead a short session in a forum or take a longer role in Young Innovation to guide the next generation and new initiatives.
Contribute resources, staff time, or communications support to an initiative that already has an audience and a clear purpose.
Join a breakfast meeting, lab, or public evening and see where your organization fits best in the network.
