This document summarizes a collaborative platform for urban resilience in Brussels that brings together civic innovation networks. It describes impact joint ventures that are co-created missions designed to have systemic impact on issues like food waste and education. Examples are provided of ongoing impact joint ventures working on bio methanization of food waste and fab labs in schools. The goals are shared value creation for citizens, organizations, and society through inclusion and access to new technologies.
