PilsLab

PilsLab is a city-driven Living Lab embedded within the municipal IT organization of the City of Pilsen. It focuses on real-life experimentation with emerging technologies in urban environments, particularly in mobility, digital urban systems, education, and robotics. It provides advanced infrastructures and testbeds where students, startups, researchers, public authorities, and emergency services co-create, test, and validate solutions in real operational contexts. A key strength is its education-to-innovation approach: through collaboration with schools and universities, it integrates Living Lab methodologies into activities such as hackathons, challenges, academies, and student projects.
