Situated in the centre of the Brainport Eindhoven region, the city of Eindhoven has a strong commitment towards its citizens to enhance the quality of life, by mobilising the creative power of triple helix parties and citizens/end users all together. It is also opening the city itself as a real-life testing ground for products and services with an added value that meet the needs, ambitions and concerns of the end users. Bringing together partners on the one hand and creating/contributing to structures in which partners can meet on the other hand are the two main points that are to characterise Eindhoven Living Lab, which is the umbrella approach to incorporate these Living Labs and future ones into one, more integrated and integral approach. Eindhoven Living Lab is about: i) Living Labs in which the City of Eindhoven is taking an active lead role; ii) Living Labs in which the City of Eindhoven is taking a minor role as a partner, or which are merely facilitated by the City by providing the necessary infrastructure and the access to it; in this case the Living Lab can extend beyond the territory of the city.
