Translational Impacts
Bring stakeholders together
(research, industry, users and more) in
authentic, real-world settings.
The best way to predict the future is to
invent it.
…..and experience it!
Create a virtuous cycle not a classic pipeline.
Living Labs
Living labs serve as a forum for GT research
innovation applied to the development
of new technologies, services and methods.
People are integral in the operation of
living labs because they serve as both
creators and users.
