Global Knowledge and Technology Exchange through Living Labs
In this session we present, discuss, and exchange learnings from living labs worldwide. Living labs are user-centered, open-innovation ecosystems integrating research and innovation processes in real-life communities and settings.
This session will facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technology, contributing to the advancement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly focusing on SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). This session will underscore the importance of living labs as transformative platforms for achieving the SDGs through innovation, collaboration, and community engagement. By facilitating knowledge and technology transfer, this initiative will contribute to building a more sustainable and inclusive world, in line with the UN’s vision for global development.
