CareLivingLabsFlanders is a network of six regional living labs and two Brussels-based projects that tests innovative solutions for independent living among older adults through open innovation and collaboration between public, private, and community stakeholders. The labs involve over 500 older adult panel members, their caregivers, and care professionals to help companies enter the care market and foster cross-sector solutions that meet the needs of an aging population in Flanders. Basic infrastructure for the CareLivingLab network is in place to continue ideating, creating, and experimenting with and for older adults through new partnership and project opportunities.
