Abstract
Amidst the global polycrisis, municipalities are urged to boost their resilience, with innovation playing a pivotal role in responding to challenges. Citizen-driven innovation has proven effective during the COVID-19 pandemic, with numerous solutions emerging from civic hackathons. However, while open innovation in businesses is well-researched, the dynamics of social and citizen- driven innovation remain less understood. Engaging civil society actors can advance municipal innovation and mitigate crises. This study, using a multiple case study approach with a qualitative content analysis of interviews and other available materials, aims to enhance our understanding of coordinating citizen- driven innovation and the interplay of different actor roles. By understanding the roles of actors and the unique aspects of social and public open innovation, municipalities can unlock the full potential of their citizens. This research offers insights to help cities harness the power of citizen-driven innovation more effectively.
