Welfare technology has increasingly been on both the political and media agenda during the last years. Yet despite this great interest and intensive hype, perhaps not as many new solutions have been implemented as might have been expected.
The over 1 200 Nordic municipalities have faced challenges in transforming interest and projects into implemented solutions and innovative new everyday lives for staff and citizens.
This publication, and the CONNECT project overall, addresses some of the problems faced by the Nordic municipalities in their work with implementation of welfare technology.
CONNECT has created the first complete Nordic toolbox for how municipalities can work with welfare technology on the best possible basis.
CONNECT toolbox is based on practical experience and municipal best practice, as it is created by ten of the Nordic region’s leading municipalities in the welfare technology area, in cooperation with a number of national authorities.
Nordic Welfare Centre hopes that this publication and this toolbox can help to promote welfare technology initiatives in the respective countries, and also to promote cooperation across national borders in the Nordic region.
