Projects and Initiatives

Open calls, participatory production, and creative initiatives

Idanova GmbH regards the promotion of creative ideas, socially relevant projects, and participatory production models as a central element of its entrepreneurial approach.

The projects and initiatives developed are designed to be open, transparent, and participatory.

Open Calls and Competition Programs

Idanova GmbH intends to conduct topic-specific open calls and competition programs.

These programs:

  • are open to artists, designers, creative professionals, and idea contributors
  • are implemented within defined timeframes and based on clear criteria
  • are accompanied by transparent evaluation processes and jury structures

The objective is to foster creative production and make ideas from different disciplines visible.

Art- and Design-Oriented Initiatives

Within the framework of projects developed under COVA Collective, initiatives are implemented that specifically support and evaluate artistic production.

These include, among others:

  • competitions focusing on visual identity, design, and art
  • the use of selected works within platforms and projects
  • the provision of awards, visibility, and production support

This approach understands artistic work not merely as presentation, but as an active component of a value creation process.

Idea Development and Concept Programs

Idanova GmbH pursues an open approach to idea development and concept work in the areas of digitalization, community building, access to services, and social benefit.

The following may be supported and evaluated:

  • digital solutions addressing social needs
  • new business model and platform ideas
  • concepts aimed at strengthening social and cultural interaction

Evaluation, Selection, and Support

The works submitted as part of the projects and initiatives are:

  • reviewed based on predefined criteria
  • evaluated by experienced juries or advisory panels
  • supported, depending on selection, through awards, pilot projects, or visibility measures

The goal is not merely to conduct a competition, but to build a sustainable structure for the further development of selected ideas.

Participatory and Development-Open Approach

The Projects and Initiatives area reflects the importance Idanova GmbH places on collaborative production and collective intelligence.

In the long term, the following are pursued:

  • new thematic focuses and open calls
  • interdisciplinary project formats
  • national and international collaborations

Looking Ahead

Idanova GmbH views projects and initiatives as a long-term instrument for promoting creative production, social impact, and participatory models.

This approach is a core component of the company’s responsible business philosophy.
