The Interview: Leo Weinek

Chenrui Pan,

  • What would be your company's Elevator Pitch?

We are a network of former public management professionals, helping city managements and elected leaders delivering innovations in the domains of city functions and community management. We work as an out-sourced innovations and PMO agency, in close cooperations with our client / cities.

  • What is the key success factor for your company?

We build partnerships, we bring domain knowledge and technology together.

  • What project are you currently working on?

If I had to pick one, it would be our local collaborative community platform through which we create and accomplish community development projects together with local stakeholders, also managing an impact funding scheme for local infrastructure development.

  • What are you learning right now?

Learning from people working in different domains, perhaps even from different culture is a process that lasts a lifetime and that I quite enjoy. Apart from this, I am deeply interested in exploring the potential of artificial intelligence for urban and public management applications.

  • Why did you decide to join 22@Network Barcelona?

There is a lot to learn from 22@Network Barcelona as an innovation district on how to bring players together for common good, how shared value is generated by human intelligence and interactions.

  • How do you think being part of the 22@Network Barcelona association helps your company?

Besides obvious knowledge transfer, possible partnerships could

  • What do you contribute to the 22@ ecosystem?

Well, that is a tough one – we do not want to pour water into the river. Obviously, the best minds are there. We share the idea that smart cities are made by smart people. We’d like to bring first-hand experience and solid domain knowledge to the table and perhaps open some extra opportunities for potential partners.

  • What attracts you to this ecosystem?

The City of Barcelona is a clear frontrunner in urban and community innovations so that we would be more than happy to participate in this journey.

  • Who do you know that you think the entire 22@ community should get to know?

I must admit, there are no Nobel laureates on the team, still, we have some nice partners with experience though natural openness who are ready to jump in to solve a new challenge.

  • How would you define innovation in the 22@ district?

Innovations most probably are not single acts or just inventions but systemic still spontaneous processes or flow. 22@NETWORK seems to be a perfect field for that.

  • How would you define sustainability in the 22@ district?

Inspirations go around.

  • Where do you see your company in 5 years?

Flourishing in co-production and co-creation in meaningful community building programs, working together with curious handsome people from all walks of life.
