Phase 1

Collect Challenges

Comon listens to Ghent’s society. What keeps citizens of Ghent awake at night? What is missing to make Ghent an even better city?

Phase 2

Explore Problems

What problems do the citizens of Ghent experience? What existing solutions are there? And why is it still an issue?

Phase 3

Generate Solutions

In this phase, we brainstorm (technological) solutions, in collaboration with everyone who cares about Ghent.

Phase 4

Experiment

Time to roll up our sleeves. Everyone can be an inventor: entrepreneurs, experts, researchers, creatives...

Phase 5

Evaluate and Learn

We evaluate our work. We talk to everyone who has contributed to Comon. Because there is always room for improvement.
