Successfully introduced in 2011, the OECD_IdeaFactory workshops facilitate:

• networking with peers
• intense collaboration
• surprising approaches
• highly focused conversations
• and a touch of serendipity, too.

It introduces a new way to look at problems:

• in a new environment
• with different perspectives
• following a different process
• testing the potential of new solutions.
