ESTELLA TELEFÓNICA I+D  Objective: ICT-PSP-CIP 2009: Objective 1.3: ICT for ageing well / independent living
 Coordinator: Telefónica Investigación y Desarrollo (Spain)
 Project Objective: The main objective is to test a singular system/services in
the field of Remote care and eInclusion, with commercial and social interest for
those areas in which the Living Labs participating operate, in order to analyze
interoperability, acceptance, feasibility and possibility of developing a business
model.
 Innovative aspects:
 To implement a supra-network of environments in which it could be easy to
test services for monitoring people at their daily environment.
 Homogenize the requirements to deploy the service in terms of standards,
protocols and base technology, as well as European requirements.
 Creation of a common database of knowledge about behavior of people in
restricted circumstances, allowing to simulate situations not available in the
real life.
 Access to different value chain with different market approaches

Living Labs for user-driven open innovation

Citizens - Ever wanted to influence future technologies?
Companies and SMEs - Ever wanted to access larger or more varied markets?
Researchers - Ever dreamt of bringing revolutionary technological breakthroughs closer to the 'man on the street'?

As a user-driven open innovation system, Living Labs speeds up the innovation process by addressing the user's needs.

Through partnerships between citizens, businesses and public authorities, the Living Labs model allows people and industries to test tomorrow's best innovations in Information and Communications Technologies (ICT).

The Living  Labs model includes end-user participation from an early stage of the creative process of technology development. As a result, evaluating aspects such as social and economic implications of new technologies has become more accurate. So the needs of users are better listened to and fulfilled.

1. CONTEXT
PRO INNO Europe® is an initiative of Directorate General Enterprise and Industry
aiming at innovation policy analysis and cooperation in Europe, with a view to
learning from the best and contributing to the development of new and better
innovation policies in Europe.
Launched in 2006, PRO INNO Europe® has supported closer cooperation between
innovation policy makers at different levels, thus contributing to the creation of a
European Innovation Space. New innovation policy concepts were jointly
developed and tested which helped improve their efficiency and more rapid
implementation throughout Europe. PRO INNO Europe® assists participating
countries and their regions to better invest in innovation, by learning from others
and sharing experience.
With this new phase starting in 2009, PRO INNO Europe® is launching a new set
of initiatives that will focus on specific priority areas, such as clusters, ecoinnovation
and services. The identification and further dissemination of “good
practice” is no longer good enough. To make real progress, participating countries
and regions have to work closer together in search of “better practice” in support of
innovation and to undertake concrete steps to put this into practice. The proposed
actions closely reflect the recommendations of the Communication "Putting
knowledge into practice: A broad-based innovation strategy for the EU"1, notably in

1. CONTEXT: ROLE OF PUBLIC PROCUREMENT IN INCREASING THE DEMAND FOR
INNOVATIVE GOODS AND SERVICES IN THE LEAD MARKET INITIATIVE
In December 2007, the European Commission presented a "Lead Market Initiative
for Europe". The Lead Market approach aims to stimulate the demand for innovative
products and services in Europe, in particular through regulation, standards and
public procurement. Six potential lead markets have been identified to apply this
approach: eHealth, construction, protective textiles, bio-based products, recycling
and renewable energy. For each lead market an action plan is being implemented by
the European Commission, Member States and industry.
Public procurement has been identified as one of the main policy instruments that can
be used to implement the Lead Market Initiative. The approach is to stimulate
demand for innovative products and services in Europe by supporting public
procurers active in the lead markets concerned and to have them act as
“launch customers”. Public procurers include national, regional and local
authorities as well as bodies governed by law as defined as "Contracting Authorities"
(see Section 5.2). The EU legal framework for public procurement supports the Lead
Market Initiative by addressing market fragmentation and enabling the development
of competitive solutions. A guide has been published by the Commission describing
how innovation can be fostered through the use of public procurement1.

1. CONTEXT
In the Communication “More Research and Innovation - Investing for Growth and
Employment: A Common Approach”1, the Commission stresses that “networking within
clusters and across complementary clusters is a key factor for their successful
development”. It further emphasises the potential of innovative services in view of their
“increased importance for the European economy”. Finally, it also points to ecoinnovation
as one of the main fields that can provide large opportunities in terms of
wealth creation and growth sustainability, by stating that “Eco-Innovation, including
methods to boost energy efficiency, has great potential for creating competitive
advantages for European enterprises”.
Furthermore, in the Communication “Putting knowledge into practice: A broad-based
innovation strategy for the EU”2, the European Commission stresses the importance of a
sectoral and thematic approach to foster innovation, proposed the service sector as a
priority action and proposed “eco-innovation as an area offering promising prospects for
the emergence of an innovation friendly lead-market”. The Council concluded on this
Communication that practical co-operation between clusters should be stimulated.3
In line with the aforementioned Communications, the European Commission adopted a
Communication on “A lead market initiative for Europe”4, that aims at enhancing the
quick take-up of innovations by concerted action of public authorities to establish
favourable market conditions. Six potential lead market areas have been identified for an
