2. The Big Challenges • Wicked problems call for diverse types of knowledge, resource, participation and collaboration. • Behaviour change requires the motivation of millions of individuals and their communities; solutions cannot be pushed. • New, distributed and highly participatory systems imply new roles for public and private spheres: demand/user/citizen driven open RDI enabled by ICT for service creation. Living Labs User driven open innovation eco-systems engage and motivate all the stakeholders, stimulate co-design and co-creation of technology, products, services and social innovation. Create lead markets and enable behavior transformation World Bank - SDN Forum 2012 - ICT Sector Day February 23rd, 2012

3. What is a Living Lab? • Living labs are open innovation environments for development and testing of technologies and applications in user-driven innovation ecosystems, where the user (citizen, resident, worker, customer) lives, works, studies, plays and entertains. • In this real living environment, the user co-creates, experiments and test ideas, products and services with business, researchers and public authorities. • User-centric solutions and social innovation processes lead to new forms of productivity and competitiveness and sustainable behaviour transformation. - A. de Oliveira, European Network of Living Labs, 2011
