abstract="In this action research study, we show by several cases that a synthetic innovation style in combination with an entrepreneurial culture might increase innovations for safety. Rational decisions and early product specifications were replaced by a natural selection of ideas in an acting reality to have the most fitted ideas among the actors. The forthcoming ideas actually ruled the development of the process and the business set-up like in an entrepreneurial culture. With financial support from the Swedish research funds, Vinnova and SBUF, a laboratory for both research and innovation was implemented at the Karolinska Institutet. The laboratory emanated from an initiative of Professor Leif Svanström in developing a multidisciplinary collaboration on design and consumer safety. In this review, we present our promising findings.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
