DEBAGOIENA 2030: A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT NETWORK

The Debagoiena valley has the strength and ambition to deliver its own innovative response to the new challenges of the 21st century, through the broadening of a community model that has become a world reference. With the support of the Climate KIC deep demonstration methodology, the Debagoiena 2030 initiative will play its part in a European Just Transformation movement through community empowerment and an open ecosystem of innovation based on cooperation. Creating a sustainable Debagoiena is an enormous undertaking that can only be achieved through cooperation with public institutions, economic agents, educational stakeholders and civil society. In this context, there is a new network for sustainable development that emerges, DEBAGOIENA 2030 (D2030), as an open innovation system based on collaboration and empowerment, using processes and methodologies derived from social innovation to build a portfolio of diverse and interconnected prototypes.

Future of Work (FoW) has been identified as one of major challenges that Debagoiena’s society will have to face  when transitioning towards a more sustainable region (among others, such as Energy, Mobility, Education, Circular Economy, etc.)

FoW MISSION:

Our mission is to connect and mobilize people, cooperatives and other socio-economic actors to co-create innovative solutions to the challenges of the green, digital and cultural transformations.  Our end goal: to ensure inclusive, meaningful and technology-enhanced work for all.

FoW VISION:

By 2030 Debagoiena will be recognised as an international reference of an innovative, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable economy ensuring good work for all.
