This document discusses the CONNECT initiative, a project aimed at developing a standardized process for implementing welfare technology across Nordic countries. The initiative is led by the Nordic Center for Welfare and Social Issues and involves 10 municipalities and 7 national authorities from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland. The goal is to establish a validated nine-step process and toolkit to guide municipalities on issues like vision, strategy, needs assessment, and monitoring. This is intended to facilitate knowledge sharing and make it easier for suppliers to access the Nordic market by having a common framework. The project seeks input from others and aims to finalize the process by the end of 2016.
