Value proposition

Redefining the ‘WHATS’ transforming the ‘HOWS’

ColaBoraBora is a cooperative of social initiative, dedicated to designing services and helping create environments and processes of collaborative innovation that focus on people.

We help different types of clients to imagine possible and desirable future situations so as to produce new opportunities in times of changes. Additionally, we are also with them to help them put them into practice successfully. We offer a mix of tailor-made services, based on a combination of various means, such as research, consulting, design, support and training.

Our work is based on paying the same attention to the WHAT (pursued challenges) as to the HOW (how to approach them).

Throughout our history, we have designed and developed a wide variety of projects for different and diverse clients as for example: with local and regional public sector in Euskadi and other regions in Spain such as Bilbao Ekintza, Barcelona Activa, Basque Government, Gabinete de Iniciativa Joven de Extremadura, Madrid Destino and Osakidetza; with organizations focus on innovation and social change such as Coboi, Conexiones Improbables, Innobasque, Mugarik Gabe, REAS o Setem; or with small and large ventures such as AGA, Diageo, Lantegi Batuak o SOM Energia.

ColaBoraBora are a small tribe of enthusiastic, critical, curious and engaged people. A group with diverse training and experience (arts, design, economics, sustainability, facilitating, marketing etc).

We are an active part of numerous networks and collective work groups, amongst which are: Wikitoki, a laboratory of collaborative practices; KARRASKAN, the Basque network for innovation in culture and culture of innovation; Eiken +, a group of creative industries within the Basque Country; REAS, a state network for alternative and solidarity-based economy; Goratuz, a network of small cooperatives in Bizkaia; Innobasque, a Basque network for the promotion of innovation; or Espacio Plaza/Sarean, an association for community development.
