Title
Innovating ICT innovation: Trentino as a lab
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the Living Lab PPPP (Public/Private/People Partnership) pursued by 'Trentino as a Lab' (TasLab), an initiative promoted by the Autonomous Province of Trento, Italy, whereby the creation of new ICT services, products and social infrastructures is enhanced by user-driven, open innovation principles and practices. Since 2007, TasLab has been a partner of the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL), promoting the cooperation of ICT companies and research centers with the local end users since the early stages of the innovation value chain. More recently, TasLab has developed a participatory model of innovation, driven by public sector demand, and supported by an electronic portal and a Web 2.0 collaboration platform. This has introduced a mechanism of bottom-up 'smart specialization', whereby regional priorities can be determined by the willingness of local actors to join forces and strive for common goals.
