Steinkjer Living Lab

Steinkjer Living Lab is a knowledge transfer project where Botnia Living Lab offers its knowledge and experience and Living Lab operations and methods to Comparative AS in Steinkjer, Norway.

In Steinkjer, Norway, there is a broad consensus among different stakeholders such as businesses, municipality, university and non-profit associa- tions that the city and region would benefit from implementing Living Lab approaches in their development processes. The establishment of Steinkjer Innovation Centre in Trøndelag is used as a case study where the new knowledge is implemented. The project is designed in three phases following the FormIT methodology where each phase includes learning sessions, practical sessions and reflections. The expected results are to set up a Living Lab in Steinkjer as part of the Innovation Centre where methods to support innovation and especially open innovation are to be used. Comparative AS will be the Living Lab provider inside the Innovation Centre.'

PROJECT PERIOD: February 2015 - March 2016
