Expanding in an EU network
Now variety of different Living labs LL linked to research organisations
IBBT iLab.o LL linked to a specific, often very local, region
Mobile City Bremen, Amsterdam Living Lab, LL focused on a specific theme
Snowpolis, La Fabrique du Futur, Telemedicine Lab European Network of Living Labs
Best-of-class in Europe and beyond (20->50->130 ->220)
Taking the next step • Current Living Labs
– Living Labs in Europe form a new, vibrant and growing community
– Locally implanted ini9a9ves – Great variety in applica9on domains, approaches etc.
• Current federation on European scale – European Network of Living Labs is a federa9on of Living Labs conforming to a
number of general benchmark criteria
– European projects addressing exchange of best prac9ces and methodologies for individual labs
• APOLLON addresses the next frontier in Living Lab Research – Leverage local implanta9on, overcome local limita9ons
– Do joint tes9ng in cross-‐border living lab projects – Offer opportuni9es for innovators (i.e. SMEs) to innovate and scale up
interna9onally much faster, with lower risk
Can SMEs use Living Lab networks to test and enter new markets?

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 innova9on plaKorms
Set up thema9c 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
SWOT Analysis of the European �Living Lab Networks
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)
2. LL1 finds a match from
LL knowledge
center (LLKC)
3. LL facilitates planning
with LL2 and SME
4. LL2 collects local stakeholders,
takes over
5. LL2 leads the project using LLKC
tools
6. LL2 assess market
potential for business
case
8. Lessons Learned added to
LLKC
7. LL2 and SME assess benefits and
plan next step
Where are we now
• Initial methodology defined – 4 step approach
• Pilots prepared – Defining the requirements – Setting up roadmap – Preparing local & remote site – Ready to launch or launched
• Evaluation framework • Knowledge center

APOLLON Methodology Elements
Connect:
• Template for contacting LLs (in the online tool)
• Format of how the LLs would profile themselves in the tool
• Checklist for things to consider
• References or quotes to success stories
• Interaction and feedback
Set Boundaries and Engage:
• Template for collecting SME (large company, LL) objectives for cross-border project
• Standard agreement template including roles, risk sharing etc.
• Checklist for things to consider
• Instructions to IPR handling
• Description of applying STOF model in the planning
• Interaction and Feedback
Support and Govern:
• Research Framework for collecting the materials

• Commercialization related services description*
• Business plan • Market analysis • Project closing
checklist
Knowledge center
Lesson learned
• Lessons learned so far – No standard process – Requirements – Clarification of roles and responsibilities – Different speeds and logics – What’s the carrot?
