What do our members say?
"IniFated 2006, the European Network of Living Labs -‐ ENoLL -‐ has grown into a global network of 212 living labs (4th Wave) that instrument user-‐powered real-‐life innovaFon acFviFes in more than 32 countries (2010). This non-‐profit network is the first of its kind. It brings together innovaFon professionals with large groups of ciFzens/users -‐ across geographical administraFve organisaFonal and cultural borders -‐ in joint innovaFon acFons to address people's every day needs and desires as well as major global challenges.” Mikael Börjeson, CEO CDT Sweden, Botnia Living Lab (Sweden) “I feel the European Network of Living Labs is becoming a birthplace for sustainable ciFes. The living labs are proving to be the ideal way to bring ciFzens, government and businesses together for co-‐innovaFon. Living labs give both governments and ciFzens a way to explore various opFons to sustainable city iniFaFves and helps free them from limited choices provided by the big IT vendors. City officials face overwhelming opFons in selecFng new technologies, and a living lab offers them a way to gain insights through vendor-‐neutral research.” Pieter Ballon, IBBT/i.Lab.o (Belgium)
