5. What do our members say? "Initiated 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 innovation activities in more than 32 countries (2010). This non-profit network is the first of its kind. It brings together innovation professionals with large groups of citizens/users - across geographical administrative organisational and cultural borders - in joint innovation actions 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 cities. The living labs are proving to be the ideal way to bring citizens, government and businesses together for co-innovation. Living labs give both governments and citizens a way to explore various options to sustainable city initiatives and helps free them from limited choices provided by the big IT vendors. City officials face overwhelming options in selecting new technologies, and a living lab offers them a way to gain insights through vendor-neutral research.” Pieter Ballon, IBBT/i.Lab.o (Belgium)
