Technology alone is not enough. Even the most advanced solutions can struggle if people do not understand them, trust them or see their value. At Enlit Europe 2025, Smart Innovation Norway will host a workshop that reshapes the conversation by placing people at the centre of the innovation journey.
This interactive session will explore how social innovation, communication, and citizen engagement translate technological advances into real-world impact. Participants will benefit from practical insights, inspiring cases, and a gamified group activity designed to highlight the critical role of human involvement in successful innovation.
Representatives from five leading EU initiatives — CHRONICLE, ProbonoH2020, REEFLEX, eFORT, and FORTESIE — will contribute their experience and knowledge. The FORTESIE EU Project will be represented as part of the #SmartEnergyCluster.
