Mi-CO – Managers of Innovation COmmunity
A thriving community of Innovation Managers in Municipalities
joining forces to make brilliant cities and improve city life
The role of the innovation manager in municipalities is crucial for driving forward-thinking and transformative initiatives that enhance municipal services for residents. . Unlike the more established position of the Chief Information Officer (CIO), the role of the innovation manager is relatively new and less defined, evolving to meet the dynamic needs of modern urban management and reflecting the different structures, challenges, and characteristics of each municipality.
Our community was established to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration among its members, promote peer learning, and support the professional growth of innovation managers. Founded in 2021. This network holds regular meetings, seminars, city tours, and conferences where members can exchange ideas and learn from each other’s experiences and knowledge. Additionally, the community acts as an ongoing rapid consulting “hotline” and a hub of lively discussions through an open chat.

Working with local governance is inherently challenging and vastly different from the tech and business sectors. Navigating complex regulations, balancing diverse stakeholder interests, and working within limited budgets require innovative and adaptable solutions specifically tailored for municipalities.
Our community of tech solutions for municipalities was created to address these challenges by fostering collaboration and innovation among experts in the field. Our members include founders, C-level executives, innovators, and tech leaders who share a common goal of advancing residents’ life. Through our open chat platform, members can engage in lively discussions, seek rapid consulting, and access a pipeline of cutting-edge solutions while being the first in-line to hear about opportunities world-wide.
