We’re all ready to move!

Consumers, cities and businesses aim for different outcomes, but many of their ambitions align: future-proof jobs and talented workforce, prosperity and economic attractiveness, measurable climate progress and resilient systems, great places to live and attractive locations, for all generations – today and tomorrow.

Through collaboration and co-creation, shared challenges can become shared solutions—making circularity more viable, increasing acceptance and planning security, shifting markets, de-risking change, and addressing economic pressure through circular innovation.

The IINMO concept

Your BUT is where we start.

Germany’s roughly 630 mid-sized cities hold significant hidden circular potential. Manufacturing businesses and city operations often face similar needs and obstacles, yet with limited budgets and resources they still tend to tackle them alone. That creates major redundancy and leaves leverage unused.

Co-Creation
Pilot Workshop

YOU BRING

A mid-sized-City.
A set of businesses. 

A BUT.

Manufacturing companies face growing economic pressure. Circular economy approaches and new business models can help, yet progress often stalls at a “Yes, but…”: an uncertain business case, high investment needs, missing data or standards, weak take-back systems, or limited time, capabilities and incentives. Show us the challenge holding you back most, and the local partners and decision-makers needed to turn ideas into credible next steps.

WE BRING

A 3-step process that creates traction. Process Pre-Analysis,
Briefing validation,
Workshop Day.

We bring solution examples, a clear framework and the right structure for a joint pilot workshop. We help assemble the right mix of participants, create trust and openness, and guide the group with proven methods, clear facilitation and focused input. From preparation to follow-up, we turn shared challenges into practical, actionable solution ideas and a solid foundation for the next steps.

TOGETHER WE

Connect players. Build momentum. 
Crack the BUT. Prototype action, as one team

In our pilot workshop, we turn a shared “Yes, but…” into a practical, decision-ready solution proposal. By building trust, creating focus and working through agile co-creation, we help shape an approach that can be challenged by decision-makers and developed into credible next steps.

"Any baby boomer who believes that the transformation of the economy is no longer their concern does not trust the projections of increased life expectancy."
