Start-up Ecosystems

A powerful instrument for urban innovation involving experimentation in real-life settings, in which user-driven innovation is fully integrated within the co-creation process of new services, products and societal infrastructures.

Reference project: Transformation of Changdong-Sanggye Industrial Cluster

In 2018 the Seoul Metropolitan Government invited Cornelia Dinca or Sustainable Amsterdam to advice on the development of the Changdong-Sanggye Industrial Cluster. This former commuter hub on the outskirts of the capital is currently being redeveloped into a new economic center with a focus on innovative start-ups and cultural facilities. This consultancy assignment consisted of a research component and written advice as well as expert meetings during a three day international conference hosted at the Seoul City Hall.
