Think Diplomacy meets Catan – a live ecosystem-building experience.
Participants step into a simulated innovation summit where teams represent different players in an emerging ecosystem. Through negotiation, alliances and strategic decisions they try to influence the direction of the ecosystem. Along the way new opportunities, tensions and collaborations emerge.
The Summit – A Game of Strategy, Alliances and Innovation
Roles & Interests
Participants represent different organisations in the ecosystem, each with their own goals, strengths and strategic interests.
Negotiation & Alliances
Teams must negotiate, exchange information and build alliances to influence decisions and move the ecosystem in their direction.
Strategic Challenges
Throughout the game teams face challenges and decisions that shape the development of the ecosystem.
Emergent Dynamics
Because interests differ, unexpected collaborations, tensions and power shifts naturally emerge during the summit.
De game kan volledig in het Nederlands of Engels worden gespeeld.
