Courage to Fail

Axfoundation’s mission is to innovate and accelerate solutions for a sustainable world. With innovation as our backbone, trial and error is in our DNA. Because with an entrepreneurial mindset, you are bound to fail at some point. We believe in sharing not only our successes but also our mistakes. Dive into a few examples of projects where things did not go quite as planned and explore the lessons that were learned from failing.

Axfoundation develops practical solutions related to the things we buy, the food we eat and the resources we use.

A high level of innovation requires a tolerant organizational culture with room for occasional failure. Daring to experiment and explore new ideas without fear of consequences or scapegoating provides invaluable learning opportunities. It also creates fruitful conditions for curiosity, thinking outside the box and finding innovative solutions to problems. We are therefore keen to share not only our successful projects but also those that didn’t quite turn out the way we intended.
