Project example:
"Policy Lab"
Design of an innovation promotion scheme for business-oriented e-mobility


In the course of the co-creation project, the IDZ, together with external experts, Berlin-based businesses and institutions, developed recommendations for agile innovation funding. The user-centred process supported the administration in understanding the needs of the target groups (commercial and industrial enterprises), in involving important stakeholders of the state, and in jointly developing demand-oriented approaches to support novel e-mobility projects in Berlin.

Duration: 2 months
Services: Conception, Consulting, Implementation: User Research, Co-Creation Workshops, Evaluation, Recommendations for Action
Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises


"For the Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises, the co-creation and design thinking process was a new approach and way of thinking. Design Thinking has helped us, as a funding agency, to position ourselves in the perspective of the user or applicant. This gave us a different view of certain topics and questions. The IDZ and 5Wx supported and convinced us with their expertise in the field of moderation and methodological knowledge".
