Inclusive Cities and Finance through Stakeholder Involvement

Stakeholder involvement we have been discussing as core element developing concepts such as Responsible Research and Innovation or Values by Design. Yet how can we involve stakeholders, i.e. those affected by innovation and research processes and outcomes – yet not able to influence them. Dr. Almudena de la Mata (CEO of BlockchAIn Intelligence) shares her methodological insights of how to do this. Giving concrete examples, she explains to the host, Dr. Claudia Werker (Delft University of Technology) how to do it to make cities and finance more inclusive. Solutions do not only increase the participation of stakeholders, e.g. by giving women better access to financial services but might also involve nudging them to choose for better solutions by providing a blockchain-based reward system in the case of more inclusive cities.
