The venue is located in front of Tallinn Creative Hub Kultuurikatel, just next to NEXPO Greentech Exposition 

Private sector businesses can leverage the resources of local governments to support growth in their core competencies, while the public sector can benefit from expertise in areas from automatization to customer happiness, which could create incentives for joint investments in R&D. How can governments promote a culture of innovation through hackathons and incubators? Both sides working together could manifest in creating policies beneficial to all stakeholders, including citizens, entrepreneurs and the government. 

What are the effective governance systems to explore opportunities for public-private partnerships and how to create an enabling environment for innovation?

In times of uncertainty agility is the key. Public innovation includes focusing on agile governance approaches and use of technology that prioritize quicker decision-making for more efficient problem-solving. Reducing red tape might spur creativity, collaboration, and innovation. The tools for reforms could include developing clear metrics for success; creating effective data management systems that allow evidence-based decision-making; and providing resources. How to innovate such a complex phenomenon and who have succeeded?
