Living Labs as local platforms • Living Labs have now been established at a local scale
– as environments for real-‐life tes/ng and experimenta/on of new services, products and systems with communi/es of real users
– allowing early feedback and co-‐design by end-‐users – following a collabora/ve, itera/ve and stochas/c process – focused on sustainable, social innova/on: not just purchase decision,
but behavioural pa>erns and changes are the central concern
– offering an open and neutral pla@orm where all stakeholders (technology suppliers, service providers, business customers, ins/tu/ons, policy makers and regulators, end-‐users) can interact and co-‐innovate
Taking the next step • Current Living Labs
– Living Labs in Europe form a new, vibrant and growing community
– Locally implanted ini/a/ves – Great variety in applica/on domains, approaches etc.
• Current federation on European scale – European Network of Living Labs is a federa/on of Living Labs conforming to a
number of general benchmark criteria
– European projects addressing exchange of best prac/ces and methodologies for individual labs
• APOLLON addresses the next frontier in Living Lab Research – Leverage local implanta/on, overcome local limita/ons
– Do joint tes/ng in cross-‐border living lab projects – Offer opportuni/es for innovators (i.e. SMEs) to innovate and scale up
interna/onally much faster
How can SMEs use Living Lab networks to test and enter new markets?
Homecare & ILS Energy Efficiency
Social Media eManufacturing
APOLLON: Advanced Pilots of Living Labs Operating in Networks
The APOLLON objec.ves:
Demonstrate the value for SMEs of a European network of local open innova/on pla@orms
Set up thema/c networks of Living Labs across Europe
Develop a common approach for cross-‐border Living Lab experiments
What is needed for cross-‐border Living Lab Networks?
Common methodology
Common ecosystem approach
Common research benchmark
Common platform guidelines
Common integration framework
Consortium Partners
Consortium Partner Distribution
APOLLON Methodology Basic Scenario • Methodology as a harmonization framework for cross-border Living Lab networks • Includes strategies & concepts for cooperation, tools & methods for user involvement, best practices & lessons learned from earlier projects, as well as framework and templates for impact assessment • Methodology builds on the following basic scenario:
1. SME Contacts a local Living Lab (LL1) or ENoLL
Domain Network
2. Match is found from LL2
knowledge center (LLKC)
3. Project coordinator (PC)
is assigned, project model agreed (LL2 or
LL1 + LL2)
4. LL2 collects local
stakeholders, PC takes over
5. PC leads the project using LLKC
tools
6. LL2 assesses market
potential for local business
case
8. Lessons Learned added to
LLKC
7. PC and SME assess benefits and
plan next step

Experiment 1: Homecare & Independent Living
Help involved SMEs explore new markets;
Improve the technologies and devices used in the
homecare context through the valida/on in different
contexts
Remote gateway and sensor based systems for
homecare and independent living
Transfer local market solu/ons to another na/onal market
Homecare & well-being ecosystem Draft common eco-system for homecare & well-being
> identifying necessary actors > description of the roles and responsibilities
First business opportunities explored Home care organization
Government
Developer
Service provider
Operator
Informal care giver
Care receiver
Insurance
Living Lab
Experiment 2: Energy Efficiency
Assess the poten/al of Home Control pla@orm
Be>er understanding of user behaviour and processes to s/mulate behavioural change in terms of Energy consump/on;
Contribute to decreasing the Carbon Foot Print
Living Lab Cross-border Activity Example
ISA internationalization strategy is to establish business partnerships in Luleå and Vitória (equipment distribution), integrated solutions in Helsinki and Amsterdam (incorporating added value with other equipments and services) and adding value by technology transfer from Amsterdam.
Experiment 3: eManufacturing
• An ‘App Store’ around a manufacturing platform: link up machines, sensors, etc.
• SMEs can add or mash up these services to new, innovative apps
• Test them in live ‘Living Lab’ factories
• Specific agreements between SMEs and SAP concluded
eManufacturing use cases
Energy Monitoring • Connecting energy
monitors • Identifying energy
bottlenecks in manufacturing plants
Asset maintenance and optimization
• Device management • Asset hierarchy • Error reporting/Alert
conditions
Logistics traceability and optimization
• Localization of tools and materials on the shopfloor
Experiment 4: eParticipation - Social Media
A pilot on the aggregation of Media Technologies using 3D, cross-media, community reporting and context aware mobile applications to include citizens in the urban innovation process.
Test how eMedia technologies can be aggregated to enable citizens to take part in urban planning of the City of the Future & to explore its History
First Pilot: The Digital Fort Project, Issy Les Moulineaux
Second Pilot: United Kingdom�Manchester City Library Case �
The pilot will enhance the work of two existing projects being run by Manchester City Council – the refurbishment of Manchester Central Library, and Manchester City Galleries‟ Decoding Art project.
The goal is to use context aware mobile applications, QR codes, Community Reporters and 3D Models to involve citizens in the urban development process and in sharing artistic content.
Towards Sustainable Impacts
• Establishment of 4 cross-border Living Labs Domain Networks: -‐ LL Domain Network for Health -‐ LL Domain Network for Energy -‐ LL Domain Network for Manufacturing -‐ LL Domain Network for Media
Main impact: Building Commons, Reaching Cri/cal Mass, Contribu/ng to Domain Innova/on
• Development of “Cross Border Piloting Service”: -‐ deliver a service offering the APOLLON set of methodologies and the consultancy on how to implement them -‐ released through the European Network of Living Labs
Main impact: possibility to develop new pilots at local and European scale & to replicate local pilot in different markets around Europe
In order to create a sustainable impact two actions will be undertaken: the development of “Cross Border Piloting Service” and the setting-up of Thematic Domain Networks
