Living Lab on Demand Scaling up prospects Relation to the urbanscape The project is based on multi-actor collaboration and innovation, therefore to build a network and innovation ecosystem with local/international developers, providers, customers, researchers, citizen, public and financial institutions, city councils, civil organisations and start-ups is crucial. The main partners would be IoT Malta Ltd as the first organization in Malta offering devices and solutions for the IoT. (http://iotmalta.com). The public partner will be City of Valetta and Malta-EU Steering Committee, as a main bridge to the civil society and municipalities. The significant users would come from the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Business Incubation (CEBI) & De Bono Institute at University of Malta and Microsoft Innovation Centre, KnowMeNow - the Maltese Start-up owned by JitKYC Limited, who built a decentralised and open blockchain trust ecosystem (https://www.knowmenow.com).

Lab themes – the lab activities do address both, societal sustainability challenges and a particular local urban challenge (e.g. mobility, transport ). Maturity – the LL will operating for a minimum duration of 5 years. Access – the leading actors and managing representatives of the LL are identifiable and accessible. The aforementioned set of criteria taking into account the sustainability principles of urban transitions..
Living Lab on Demand To watch the concept of e-Palette and its flexibility, the open interior design layout was the origin of our idea . e-Palette vehicle can be outfitted with purpose-built interiors in accordance with the user's needs and this framework is also designed for usage optimization, sharing and support the transition seamlessly from one application to another. That gave us the first motivation to transform and adapt the Living Lab methodology to e-Palette. The mobile unit is open and running in public spaces to provide access to anyone (developers , solution providers and end-users) to test applications that also generate open data thus creating new value chains . The Living Lab On Demand provides IoT infrastructure (on public networks : 5G, Sigfox or LoRa ). Sensors , actionable Open Data and developer friendly platform stimulate the creation of new apps making a rapid impact on the urban economy. The Living Lab can be booked/rented "On Demand" by multi-actors (individuals, teams, startups).
