The document discusses the concept of living labs, which are user-led innovation environments that embrace co-creation and observation, particularly in the context of smart cities. It outlines living lab methodologies, provides examples of projects, and suggests how cyberparks can leverage living labs for urban innovation. The presentation also references various resources and initiatives related to living labs and their role in enhancing innovation policies across Europe.

i.e. Kortrijk city and Flanders
region (Belgium), Barcelona city
and Catalonia region (Spain),
and Trento city and the Trentino
region (Italy)
Technology, user and business
