Valencia Living Lab – People Innovating for People

The aim of this LL is to make Valencia a laboratory city by creating experimentation spaces, public infrastructures and processes designed to experiment with new solutions, services and products that are developed by innovative ecosystem, as well as by the citizenship, and which require testing in real conditions. Within its scope, Valenica LL has been working for years in the development of this experimentative city vision, to which it is now possible to contribute with the following three concrete assets. 1) Las NAVES + La HARINERA Living Lab: the conversion of the public innovation centre in Valencia into a living lab focused on co-creating innovation that improves people’s lives. 2) URBAN REGULATORY SANDBOX of the city of Valencia, which is one of the first local-scale regulatory sandboxes to be created in Spain. 3) TEF – TESTING & EXPERIMENTATION FACILITY, which will be one of the three laboratories to be set up in Europe, in this case focusing on AI.
