- 8. Ecosystem Amsterdam I Culture • Netherlands, Amsterdam especially, is full of networkers, wanting to collaborate for mutual benefit • Players are to-the-point, direct, mostly non-political • Short lines between different kinds of stakeholders • Sometimes: looking for too short-term effect • So: need to find the rights partners that want to innovate with you Policy • Feedback loops from civil society & companies do exist. • Amsterdam invites people in and helps to organise • Keen eye for bottom-up development, and connecting to bottom-up developers • Policy mindset is favourable to novelty and innovation. • A lot is learned from international cooperation
- 9. Ecosystem Amsterdam II Support • There is a very active layer of support structures available: • Non-governmental institutions • Foundations • Funding agencies • Accelerators • Knowledge institute • Civil society groups • Over 60 innovation hubs • The culture is informal, which makes professionals easy to access • The internet, business & financial support structures are well developed Markets • Amsterdam is the Netherlands most important & vibrant creative design hub • Lots of startups • Some large companies (TomTom, Guerilla Games, Philips, Shell) • Lots of business clubs, networking agencies • Openness to disruptive innovation (Uber, AirBNB) • However: there is not a Silicon Valley start-up culture (yet)
- 10. Ecosystem Amsterdam III Human Capital • A large number of talented and motivated individuals is available • Many (Eastern Europeans, Chinese & Indians) come to study in NL • Open, tolerant atmosphere • Short ties to educational & research institutions • Actors are generally good at networking • Entrepreneurship skills & mindset starting to become bigger Finance • Top-sector Creative Industries • Government invests in accelerators • Crowd-funding becomes available • Funding for collaborations between universities and companies • Tax reduction in innovation • Tax reduction for start-up companies • European funding for start-ups and large integrated projects

- 20. Learnings • True innovation takes a leap of faith: chose your partners and sponsors wisely • Ecosystems need to be nurtured: you have to give before you take • Ecosystems are about people, therefore about trust • It can take considerable time to get to know it and for them to know you • There are always more ways to get there
- 21. VALUE
- 23. Value we bring • Neutral, non-profit space to gather and think outside of the box • Human centered co-creation practice • Communities of users and civil society • Design Thinking & Design Doing • Bringing art & culture into innovation • Extensive network / ecosystem • Hands-on technology knowledge • International scouting of new ideas
- 25. Waag Values
- 26. What design can do? • Retain a focus on the user / citizen • Give a structure for being creative about problem-solving • Test iterations of possible solutions in order to learn more about the problem • Identify new, more relevant ideas and services and steward them through delivery • Engage users (citizens and employees) in the design of change.
