Demos Helsinki is a EHFF Partner
Demos Helsinki generates ideas that breed change. They come to us looking for new ideas, new concepts, and strategic change when old solutions become outdated. Our expertise lies in our broad-based expertise in futures studies and our use of first-class research.
Understanding future is useless if you cannot utilise it today. Our vision of the future is an extension of the Nordic speciality. Nordics have been extremely successful societies with a model that combines foresight with co-creation. That is what we can offer for organisations globally, a long sight that thrives from the inclusion of human capabilities in the widest possible setting. In this Nordic spirit we bring people, teams and organisations together to work out how to take on the grand challenges of the future future.
We have a long expertise in analyzing the future trends in health and wellbeing. For example, our work Health 2050 – Four scenarios for human-driven health and freedom of choice presents four different scenarios about how health benefits can be doubled without increasing the total health costs. In our report Well-being of the Metropolis we describe how urban environments could support the capabilities of its citizens, and thus create sustainable well-being.
Our partners – companies, cities, governments and other communities – contact us when old solutions and models prove insufficient and when new ideas and concepts or strategic change are needed. The distinctive quality of our work is achieved by combining systemic, future-oriented research with creative methods for design thinking, prototyping and business modelling.
