Four places,
one method.

§ 1Torshov is the desk at which Collective Innovation was founded in 2019 and the room to which, sooner or later, every question in the ecosystem finds its way back. The headquarter sits in Myrens Verksted, a converted industrial building beside the Akerselva river, a short walk from central Oslo.

§ 2It is our habit to hold the hard conversations here and the easy ones somewhere else. Strategy, foresight, methodology, editorial review, and the annual honest assessment of what has and has not worked happen at this address.

§ 3The room does more than hold meetings. Workshops happen here, and many of them. A podcast studio sits at one end, a small cinema room at the other. The coffee is always good — by house policy, never by accident.

§ 1The Project Hub is our project workshop, set in Nydalen on the northern edge of central Oslo. Here the work moves from the page to the consortium: intake, sector pull, partner mapping, content generation, document assembly, quality gate.

§ 2The European project pipeline runs through this desk. The Project Hub holds a reference database of 40,000 accepted EU projects and a five-stage evaluation system that grades a draft proposal before the deadline rather than after it. The discipline of the Project Hub is unglamorous and, on balance, the most valuable thing we do.

§ 1Amsterdam is the home of Sport Singularity BV, our sport-sector driver organisation in the ecosystem. It carries the commercial side of the sport work: federation engagements, the Foresight Leadership Programme, and bespoke programme delivery for sport organisations across Europe.

§ 2It is also where we run our four-stage foresight cycle inside sport organisations — scanning signals, building scenarios, drafting policy briefs, and facilitating their use. The cycle turns scattered weak signals into decisions that hold up over time.

§ 3Continuous environmental scanning sits alongside the cycle. We track the regulatory, funding, and institutional shifts shaping European sport policy, the ones that decide what federations can and cannot do. Through VoiceSport, we follow signals across the European sport sector and publish sector insights and intelligence for partners and the wider community.

§ 4The desk also runs the ecosystem’s data work: sector intelligence under the CIVM method and Cordis integration. Strategy is set in Oslo; numbers are kept honest in Amsterdam.

§ 1Dublin is the home of AI Nexus Ireland, our AI driver organisation. The work here is divided between two close-but-distinct functions: AI upskill training programmes for non-specialists, and the bridging work between academic AI research, industrial deployment, and public policy.

§ 2The studio is remote-first; collaboration runs across the rest of the ecosystem. It also ships the ecosystem’s software when called upon — websites, platforms, and the editions you are reading now — written in Next.js, React, Tailwind, Framer Motion, and GSAP.
