What is LIV_IN (Living Innovation)?
LIV_IN is an initiative started by 14 partners from all over Europe, including, major industry leaders, civil society and research organisations. In this project, we have joined forces to co-create more responsible approaches to innovation in the areas of smart homes and smart health. The initiative will provide a vibrant online platform for discussion, knowledge creation and collaboration on new solutions that are beneficial to society and create new business opportunities. By engaging citizens and lead users in 19 co-creation workshops across five European countries, LIVING INNOVATION strives to co-create the way we will live in 2030 - combining creativity and business acumen, human-centred design and responsibility.
