2. What is ENoLL?
European Network of Living Labs, Brussels based
international non-profit organisaton, facilitates the cooperation
and the exploitation of synergies between its 300+ members
worldwide.
Within ENoLL, the whole innovation
cycle i.e end-users, SMEs,
coorporations, citizens, public sector,
NGOs, academia and the wider
research communities form a dedicated
network of thematically organised
Living Labs.

4. What is (the value of)
a Living Lab?
• Living Lab is a real-life test and experimentation environment
where users and producers co-create innovations
• Public-Private-People Partnership (PPPP) for creation,
prototyping, validating and testing new technologies, services,
products etc in real-life contexts
• Empower citizens (end-users) as active co-creators of value,
ideas & innovations that benefit the whole society

Don’t discard routines,
challenge them
and creatively explore
new ones!

The positive effects of co-creation activities:
From coproduction 1. A broader understanding of stakeholders’ processes and their value creation conducting
to Co- capability to deliver value for them (e.g. Liedtka & Ogilvie, 2011; Prahalad & Ramaswamy, 2004),
Creation 2. To monitor future possibilities and the landscape of competition (e.g. Prahalad & Ramaswamy,
2004),
3. To innovate more efficiently (e.g. Liedtka & Ogilvie, 2011; Ramaswamy & Gouillart, 2010).

7. Where does LL come from and how
did it evolve into ENoLL?
• Originated for MIT (US), concept further developed in Europe
• Supported by EC as bridging the gap between R&D and market
entrance (faster take up of R&D results) and enable SMEs obstacles
on local and regional markets in the fragmented European market
place
• Linked with EC policies and initiatives EU2020, Digital Agenda,
especially through initiatives such as EIPs on Smart Cities, Active and
Healthy Ageing (AHA), Future Internet, Design …
• Several Living Lab initiatives supported by the EC as well as national
programmes (FP7, CIP ICT PSP programme, etc)

- The project was started in 2009 initiated by Forum Virium, City of

- At the same time when opening the APIs HRT opened its own
web-based Journey Planner which is currently one of the most
popular web applications in Finland.
- All other service development it left to the developer
community, resulting in very heterogeneous variety of
applications serving with highly specified apps also the very
narrow niche markets.
- One good example app is the Mobitransit (real-time tracking
of trams and buses in Helsinki) application which is developed
by a developer from Valencia, who has never visited Helsinki,

48. Some findings from FIREBALL
(www.fireball4smartcities.eu)
“How European cities are currently developing strategies towards
becoming smarter cities and the lessons we can draw for the future. These
strategies are also based on a new understanding of innovation, grounded
in the concept of Open innovation ecosystems, global innovation chains and
on citizen’s empowerment for shaping innovation and urban development.
These new ways of innovation are characterised 1) high level of citizen
involvement in co-creating internet-based applications and services and 2)
emergence of new forms of collaboration (e.g. PPPs)”*
“Open innovation and citizen’s engagement aim to bridge the gap between
the R&D of ICT and actually experimenting and using Internet-based
applications in cities. These applications and services are intended to bring
societal and economic benefits in areas such as healthcare, independent
living, enterprising and SMEs, participative government, energy efficiency,
environment and quality of life.”*
*All inputs come from the FIREBALL whitepaper: http://www.fireball4smartcities.eu/
Lecce 14.3.2013 TH

49. Some findings from FIREBALL (2)
“Smart cities need to develop strategies and migration paths regarding
how they will make use of available internet infrastructures, testbed
facilities, applications and know-how, and how they will develop PPP for
their access, use and exploitation. A particular point of attention is how
those assets can be made openly accessible for both users and developers
in order to stimulate experimentation and innovation in becoming part of
the innovation ecosystem of cities.”
“Three important gaps are outlined, which cities have to overcome namely:
1. Digital skills gap: that concerns to the ability of citizens and companies
to master web-technologies and offer solutions over the net
2. The creativity gap: that separates web technologies and applications
3. The entrepreneurship gap: that takes place between digital
applications and innovative services”
*All inputs come from the FIREBALL whitepaper: http://www.fireball4smartcities.eu
Lecce 14.3.2013 TH

50. Some findings from FIREBALL (3)
“Recommendation in the paper: cities have to explore various business
models and identify the ones suitable for each type of service. Living Lab
methodologies, social experiments, crowdsourcing, and open city platforms
for creating and promoting applications and services may offer good
solutions to this end and mobilize creative skills of the entire population of
the city.”
“Cities provide many opportunities of attractive exploration and
validation environments. There is still a gap between Future Internet
research and citizens’ expectations.”

special focus on application, organizational and service interoperability, and that will
support cross-border development and testing of solutions, considering contextual
factors, business models and strong involvement of user communities
• Predecessor of this commitment is the APOLLON project, carried out by many ENoLL
members, and that has taken an important role in networking and harmonising Living Lab
approaches throughout Europe
• Results from the APOLLON project have been officially transferred to ENoLL for open
exploitation towards the wider community of Living Labs, including the Health and
Independent Living Thematic Network
• ENoLL is also involved in the FI-PPP as a partner in the CONCORD project supporting
one of the main FI-PPP pillars: the user driven approach

ENoLL Planned Activities
• Based on the concept of community and consensus building and, exchange of knowledge and
experiences, ENoLL carries out projects and relies on its members while collecting and bringing
together knowledge from multiple projects and actions carried out a local, regional and European
level in the AHA domain.
• As part of its networking activities, ENoLL plans for organising AHA workshops and networking
activities in order to:
• Gather input from many projects about the current usage of standards, challenges and
success stories in the implementation of interoperable solutions and applications for
Independent Living
• Promote the usage in current and future projects of interoperable AHA solutions aligned
with EIP-AHA plan and actions.
• Forster partnerships among the ENoLL members and between them and the FI-PPP and
AALOA community as a platform to design and implement these solutions and
applications involving many SMEs and many users all over Europe to gather evidence
about return of investment
