Challenge Driven Innovation (CDI) is a research and innovation-funding programme developed by the Vinnova’s Swedish Innovation Agency to fund collaboration in research and innovation that address societal challenges (including future healthcare) addressing Agenda 2030 goals, involving consortia of partners from different parts of society. The program foresees the inclusion of different actors in the project; supports a problem-oriented and demand-driven approach that necessitates anticipation and reflection; encourages learning by doing and responsiveness and capacity of changing and adapting. Gender equality is an important element of CDI. Participation in the CDI program requires the constitution of consortia, involving different kinds of stakeholders during the entire duration of the project, for co-creating and implementing a solution to an identified need/challenge.
