Our process doesn’t end with inspiration. The Innovation Safari ignites new ideas that transition into deeper Discovery, uncovering critical insights tailored to your needs. After that follows the Co-Create & Prototype phases, where we help you develop and test practical solutions, setting the stage for the Scale & Transform phase, where concepts evolve into lasting products or structural transformations.
When teams explore new ecosystems together, new paths open
A Safari gathers executives, leaders and specialists for a concentrated learning experience in key Nordic and Baltic hubs. Typically held in Copenhagen, Tallinn or Riga, the format combines company visits, expert conversations, regulatory perspectives and future-skills sessions. Each route is designed around your strategic priorities, ensuring relevance and real-world application. Through curated meetings, structured reflection and concrete takeaways, Safaris give organisations fast access to external knowledge, best practices and new ways of working — without long consulting cycles.
Since 2018, we have designed and facilitated dozens of Learning Safaris — born from my desire to share my own experiences and learnings, to build meaningful networks, and to encourage people to shift perspectives and mindsets. While the Nordics and Baltics are our core ecosystems, we also bring organisations into German startup hubs such as Berlin and Hamburg. Through our collaboration with our partners, we offer Safari experiences in additional European innovation hotspots, including Spain and the Netherlands.

"We wanted to gather impulses and came back from our Innovation Safari with a changed mindset. A 3-day trip to Copenhagen has come to an end, which was so full of inspiration and methods that we came back home euphoric."

Seeing Bolt’s customer-centric approach was truly inspiring—it showcased the impact of designing with a clear focus on connectivity and user needs. This experience deepened my understanding of leadership, digitalization, and the value of maintaining focus, while reminding me that sometimes all we need is a little more courage to move forward."
