By Håkon Ege, Founder

It all started with a vision to foster innovation and drive through collective consciousness, diversity and collaboration. I saw a need for a place where people and organisations from different sectors and backgrounds could come together to co-create solutions to complex socio-economic challenges. That's how COLIN was born in 2019, in Oslo, as a purpose-driven organisation.

Since then, COLIN has been on a mission to collectively foster and drive innovation across the sport, environment, education and space sectors by providing platforms that empower individuals and organisations to connect, learn and co-create solutions. The story of COLIN is just beginning, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

Our vision is to be a catalyst for collective innovation AND foster solutions across different sectors to build a sustainable and equitable future for all.

We aim to achieve:

Facilitation of learning

We provide learning, knowledge sharing, expertise exchange and collaborative problem-solving platforms.

Driving Innovation

Using collective efforts to drive innovation and support the SDGs such as health, education and climate.


Fostering a culture

We create an innovative environment that facilitates idea development for both individuals and organisations.

Strengthening collaboration

Build strong partnerships with diverse stakeholders to co-create solutions that address complex challenges and maximise collective impact across sectors.
