THIS IS WHAT WE DO

In order to design applications that contribute positively to increasing social earning capacity and accelerating transitions, it is important to continue to strengthen and make better use of the design power of the Netherlands. CLICKNL contributes to this by facilitating the development and strengthening of knowledge, methods, and skills. This includes knowledge about behavior, methods for exploring new visions of the future or for collaborating, and the ability to orchestrate projects and sense interests within collaborations.

In addition, CLICKNL develops programs in which this expertise is applied, such as CIRCO (circular entrepreneurship), PONT (strengthening collaboration between design and government), O&T (collaborative projects for better design), and CIIIC (preparing the Netherlands for the economic and social potential of Immersive Experiences). Each of these programs
ensures greater earning capacity and faster transitions in their own domain.

Three agendas

With three interrelated agendas, CLICKNL encourages the strengthening and utilization of knowledge, methodologies, skills, and working methods in complex tasks from different perspectives.

  • KIA MV, the Knowledge and Innovation Agenda about Social Earning Capacity, focuses on a repertoire of actions for accelerating transitions, strengthening market creation, and scaling up innovative applications.
  • The Agenda Key Enabling Methodologies (KEMs) describes the different types of methods and methodologies and provides guidance on the development and validation of methods for societal challenges.
  • The Power of Design Agenda focuses on knowledge and expertise development for design power in transition challenges.

Together, these agendas guide CLICKNL's activities for the period 2024-2027, in line with the Mission-driven Innovation Policy of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. We do this by:

  • Setting the agenda and programming research;
  • Building large-scale programs;
  • Stimulating and facilitating network formation and strengthening;
  • Supervising projects in the development phase;
  • Stimulating and facilitating knowledge dissemination.
