Best Practice Exchange
Whether in government, business, or civil society, we specialise in identifying innovators with cutting-edge solutions to complex problems, who are willing to share their know-how and networks in support of your work.
We have the network
The good news is that for every complex problem out there, there are people with tried-and-tested solutions.
With our network of over 10,000 innovators and leaders across Europe, we hold the key to a carefully curated network of best practice examples, nurtured over the last decade.
We know what works
There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Since 2016, we’ve gathered over 4,000+ proven best practices from governments, businesses, and civil society organisations across Europe.
Our access to the experts behind them allows you to learn from successful projects, adapt their insights, and implement what works.
Delivering inspiring exchange formats
No more dull conferences. Our exchange events bring together business leaders, politicians, experts, public servants, and civil society to experience the power of mutual inspiration.
Participants showcase exemplary work, connect with potential partners, and share practical know-how across sectors.
With the support of skilled facilitators, imaginative stage designers, and artists, we create an inclusive and engaging environment that sparks creativity, fosters dialogue, and invites bold new ideas.
Fostering meaningful connections
Innovation is not a moment – it’s a continuous process. That’s why, unlike typical one-off exchanges, being part of our network means staying engaged over time.
Through ongoing connection, you can continue learning, adapting, and applying proven solutions, with opportunities to amplify your own work and share insights with others.
Whether you’re seeking inspiration, collaboration, or support in navigating new terrain, we’re here to accompany you on the journey, every step of the way.

What our partners say
-
Circular economy and re-use have great potential to contribute to a sustainable transformation. I look forward to the conference, to exciting conversations and valuable initiatives.
ERICH HAIDER
Chairman of the board and CEO of LINZ AG -
Improving politics is essential for democracy in a changed environment. So we need to provide encouragement and rewards – like the European Capital of Democracy initiative does – for providing new and real democracy to all.
AXELLE LEMAIRE
Former French Minister of State for Digital Affairs -
Digital tools for democratic participation present us with a real opportunity. They provide people who struggle to get involved – such as women busy with care work – with a chance to take part in the decision-making process.
ELISABETH MAYR
Deputy Mayor of Innsbruck, Representative of the Austrian Association of Cities and Towns -
Safe Democracy sets a strong example for co-determination and transparency. Together, we confront the challenge of laying the foundations for a secure, participative future.
JÜRGEN CZERNOHORSZKY
Executive City Councillor for Climate, Environment, Democracy and Personnel, Vienna -
We need to manage change in democracy if we do not want the enemies of democracy to do it for us.
IVAN KRASTEV
Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies -
Safe Democracy is the ideal platform for us to work together to improve our democratic services, to boost the quality of life of our citizens, and to improve our resilience to disinformation.
THOMAS WENINGER
General Secretary of the Austrian Association of Cities and Towns -
Values like truth, democracy, and independent thinking are heavily under attack. And all of them are important pillars of prosperity – let us protect them!
ANDREAS TREICHL
Chairman of ERSTE Foundation -
In Linz, we've set ourselves a major task: to achieve climate neutrality in the most energy intensive industry of all. This convention is Linz's forum to promote ongoing exchange between businesses, interest groups, universities, administrations and politics.
DIETMAR PRAMMER
Mayor of Linz -
I am a big believer in engaging people in the development of the cities and places where they live. Authentic and transparent local politics may help to fix the trust in democracy.
MATÚŠ VALLO
Architect, City Activist, and Mayor of Bratislava -
The H2 Convention in Linz provides us with a platform for an even stronger supra-regional network and international exchange of experiences. It allows us to break down barriers, to learn from one another, and to drive forward the building of the hydrogen economy across borders.
SUSANNA ZAPREVA
CRO/COO VERBUND AG
