Living Labs

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

Water Living Lab

Water Living Lab is an innovation environment, which provides the opportunity to test and demonstrate solutions within the drinking water distribution network.

In collaboration with Danish companies and knowledge institutions, the goal is to strengthen Danish and international water companies' ability to ensure high quality drinking water, reduce water loss and energy consumption and reduce climate and environmental impacts.

Climate Living Lab

Climate Living Lab is a knowledge and innovation environment enabling testing and demonstration of climate adaptation solutions in a full-scale real environment in Aarhus Municipality. In partnering with knowledge institutions, companies and Aarhus Vand, we create innovation within climate adaptation, also in relation to biodiversity, recreation and health.

Contact project manager Anne Laustsen: anne.laustsen@aarhusvand.dk for cooperation possibilities.

Wastewater Living Lab

Wastewater Living Lab provides an opportunity to test and demonstrate technologies for the treatment of wastewater at the treatment plants in Egaa, Marselisborg, Aaby and Viby. The drainage system is also a part of the Living Lab environment. At the new wastewater treatment plant, ReWater, there will be an area dedicated to testing. In a project collaboration, there will be a broad approach to connections, value chains, stakeholders and symbiosis.

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.
