2. Living Labs innovate
and Co-create added
value with, for and BY
European citizens,
Europe and its Regions,
Cities, and public , private and third sector organisations

3. ENoLL’s Mission: ColLaboratory
• Europe needs a Pan European Large-scale Open Innovation
Ecosystem
• Participative RDI work of experimenting for innovations and
their diffusion through various scalable RDI activities and
stages
• By using the bottom up methods across Europe, we can listen
what the citizens and users want to solve and we know their
real problems, values and solutions while noting a different
social, legal, and cultural settings in variable environments.
• Besides Living Labs, there is a need to incorporate also other
“labs”, as well as the traditional actors of the innovation system
(universities, corporations, public bodies, SMEs..) and other
hidden actors (industrial living labs, etc.)

ENoLL offers you 170 Living Labs’ network,
expertise and services developed since 2006
An innovation protocol
- From idea phase and customer understanding to
prototyping, validation and post- launch
development
- From micro to the most macro level innovation
- To scale up from one city and country to another
- For citizen driven societal development
…providing access to reviewed
open innovation ecosystems
with cities, regions, firms, third
sector and research organisations
and citizens for
joint value co-creation, rapid
prototyping or validation
to scale up and speed up
internationally

process involving knowledge flows across the entire
economic and social environment.
The concept of Open Innovation is constantly evolving and is
moving from linear, bilateral transactions and collaborations
towards dynamic, networked, multi-collaborative innovation

11. “The year is 2030. Open Science has become a reality and is
offering a whole range of new, unlimited opportunities for research
and discovery worldwide.
Scientists, citizens, publishers, research institutions,
public and private research funders, students and
education professionals as well as companies from
around the globe are sharing
an open, virtual environment called The Lab

23. DIH Possible role of co-creators
• When new digital products are developed, provide a
possibility for co-creation/validation by users
How to get involved?
• Contact your local digital innovation hub (see catalogue)
and see if there is a possibility of collaboration
• Liaise with national initiatives on digitisation
• Engage with European actors and convince them of your
added value, so you can be included in the consortium for
a proposal. Now proposals are open for robotics DIHs.

In many countries the public sector already utilizes
co-creators. Next we’ll bring the message to the
industrial sector for more competitive market and
user driven products
