Try New Things

For municipalities, regions and other publicly funded organizations

Co‑creation.

We get the right people into one room, and help them build something none of them could have built alone.

Try New Things, Skellefteå

What we do

We make co‑creation easier, and more effective.

We partner with municipalities, regions and other publicly funded organizations to bring people together and get them building.

  • ScopeOne question, or a whole process.
  • PreparationDo we need interviews, research or design work beforehand, or not?
  • Follow-upJust the results, or help taking the next steps.

Tell us what you need, and we will put together a proposal.

A 20-minute call is usually enough to give you a first estimate.
