What can we learn from emerging cases?
In preparation for Istanbul Innovation Days 2025, for which TIAL has partnered up with the UNDP and Demos Helsinki, our teams have identified hundreds of cases of institutional innovation worldwide.
For months, we have been researching and interviewing them, searching for patterns, opportunities, and inspiration. We believe that these innovations signal a shift in how we understand and engage with our institutions; they also provide crucial data points that make up this emerging field.
- What are the defining moments of a movement that managed to get direct access to government funds for indigenous communities in Mexico?
- How does a city application turn into a life-saving service — like it happened in Kyiv?
- What key principles can guide policies that address time scarcity in modern societies?
- What institutions can address transversal issues that silos fail to?
- How have countries given legal rights to rivers, forests, and wetlands?
You can visit the Istanbul Innovation Days 2025 website to find out more — and to keep up with more cases as they come.
Alternatively, you can register to join us for the full live stream programme!
