Effective innovation projects in the public sector
Faster innovation projects in municipalities? Yes, it’s possible with the help of a startup toolkit, new technology and experienced partners.
What if your municipality could work with innovation as quickly and efficiently as a startup? Many municipalities have great ideas and improvement initiatives that never become reality, either because processes are too heavy, resources too limited, or simply because it’s hard to know where to start.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. We help municipalities work smarter and move quickly from idea to testing and actual implementation, without compromising on quality, user involvement, or anchoring.
“It’s rare to experience that the solutions we need are seen, understood, and developed so continuously—very much appreciated!”
Modern innovation, tailored for the municipal sector
By combining service design, rapid iterations, AI tools, and digital product development, we help municipalities:
- Get started with both small and large ideas—quickly
- Prototype and test solutions with real users
- Iterate and improve in days—not months
- Reduce risk and build on real needs
- Create concrete, testable results without large investments
We use methods and processes from startups and scaleups and adapt them to the public sector. The result? Innovation projects that actually get implemented.

How we helped Sandefjord with “Aktiv på Dagtid” and “Frivillig match”
Aktiv på dagtid is a low-threshold activity offering for adults aged 18–67 in Sandefjord who are fully or partially outside the workforce. The program offers varied activities in safe and inclusive environments to promote community, mastery, and a more active everyday life.
The project needed a flexible solution for user information, simple membership administration, and membership cards.
Members can now pay their membership via Vipps, show their membership card in the citizen app, and receive push notifications from activity groups they participate in.
Frivillig match
Sandefjord Municipality is currently launching an innovation project to simplify connections between non-profit organizations and residents who want to volunteer. Various solutions have been tested previously, and the municipality now wants to combine these experiences with new technology to create simpler and more practical solutions.
How we helped Sunnfjord with Blime
Sunnfjord needed an easy way to manage registrations and waiting lists for various activities. Now participants can easily sign up, receive notifications when a waiting list spot becomes available, view their registrations, and make changes if needed.
Organizations can download participant lists, allocate more spots, and view statistics for their events. The solution is, of course, integrated into the citizen app.
How we help the City of Helsingborg with Antiloop.eco
The goal was to engage children and young people in understanding climate issues using concrete, local, and accessible data—without creating extra work for teachers.
The result was AntiLoop, a digital learning tool that uses real-time data from IoT sensors in and around schools to make climate, environment, and sustainability tangible, fun, and relevant in education.
Antiloop was developed in close collaboration with teachers, students, and the municipality—from idea and MVP to testing and classroom implementation—with continuous improvements based on usage and research.
The system is now a scalable, user-friendly platform with sensors, dashboards, and visualizations that schools can easily adopt. It has already been implemented in several schools with documented engagement and learning outcomes.
