KARTU: A Collaborative Platform for Co-Creation and Matchmaking
In a rapidly evolving industrial landscape, companies need to respond quickly to disruptions, shifting demands, and unexpected challenges. This requires a new approach—one that goes beyond traditional problem-solving and embraces collaboration, flexibility, and shared innovation.
KARTU, developed within the RARE project, embodies this vision. More than just a digital tool, it is a virtual ecosystem designed to enable co-creation and smart matchmaking among industrial actors.
A Participatory Virtual Ecosystem
KARTU provides a collaborative digital environment where companies, service providers, and stakeholders can interact within shared virtual rooms. Here, users can exchange ideas, present challenges, and develop solutions together.
This participatory approach ensures that innovation is no longer isolated but becomes a collective process, driven by the interaction of multiple actors across the value chain.
From Co-Ideation to Action
At the core of KARTU lies co-creation. The platform supports the full collaborative journey:
- Co-Ideation: stakeholders share needs, challenges, and opportunities
- Co-Design: participants collaboratively develop solutions
- Outcome Consolidation: ideas are refined into actionable results
This structured process ensures that collaboration leads to practical and implementable solutions, not just concepts.
Fast and Effective Matchmaking
KARTU enables companies to quickly identify the most suitable solutions for their needs. Through structured submissions, keyword-based search, and comparison tools, users can efficiently match challenges with available expertise and services.
This makes the platform particularly valuable for situations requiring rapid reconfiguration of production systems or supply chains.
The Entry Point to the RaRe2 Toolbox
KARTU also plays a key role as the single entry point to the RaRe2 Toolbox, a set of solutions designed to support manufacturers in building resilient and agile production systems.
Through KARTU, companies can access tools and resources that enable:
- Early detection of market changes
- Quick reconfiguration of production processes and value chains
- Timely adaptation of workforce skills
- Access to a broader industrial community
By integrating these capabilities into one platform, KARTU simplifies access to innovation and accelerates decision-making.
A Community for Resilient Innovation
Ultimately, KARTU represents a shift toward a more connected and collaborative industrial ecosystem. It brings together challenges, ideas, and solutions in a single space, allowing companies to adapt faster and operate more efficiently.
More than a tool, KARTU is a community for smart collaboration, where co-creation and matchmaking work together to support resilience, flexibility, and continuous innovation.
