Living Lab is full scale demonstration sites and co-creation

Living Labs is a knowledge and innovation environment enabling test and demonstration of water technology. The goal is to achieve the most sustainable water cycle by establishing trusting partnerships. Living Labs is an environment for knowledge institutions that need a test partner for a project or companies with a project idea in need for a strategic and trusting collaboration. In other words, Living Labs are both demonstration sites and collaborative environments.

Living Lab is part of an innovation strategy

The Spring: a part of Water Valley

The Spring is the result of the wish to release the potential there is in the Danish water sector and increase both innovation, export and job creation. There are already plans to expand the district with a new land area with around 80,00 m2. Something that enables the construction of 50-80,000 floor space and ensures continued fertile ground for growth.
