Living_LAB Focus Group
19 February 2019
To create a system for scientific research, with Universities, Secondary Institutes, media and enterprises, in order to foster competitiveness, innovation and technological transfer: these key words emerged from the Living LAB meeting held at Sviluppumbria.
The aim of the Living LAB project is to set up a system of subjects to speed up and optimize the transition between the academic world, businesses and the market, with the aim of creating added value and innovation for the entire territory. The task of the Living LAB is to support the cultural change of people who, through aggregation, will be able to inspire each other, find solutions and new forces to face the challenges of the future. All the participants in the focus group supported the importance of creating, from the bottom up, an innovative format for the aggregation and elaboration of new ideas. The next step of the project will be a call for the involvement of the business world.
