The chapter engages in the discussion of boundary spanning activitiessuch as the essential public services where multistakeholder collaboration amongvarious actors, i.e., public, private, academia and the industry is inevitable due tocross-cutting issues, demands and challenges.With examples of successful cases andevidence from scientific literature, the chapter makes a convincing case in favour ofmultistakeholder collaboration as a powerful tool to raise societal resilience.
