What is a living lab?

A living lab is a place where diverse stakeholders share views and ideas and co-create solutions with the aim of building a better society. Here in real-life environments and communities, they can demonstrate innovations and evaluate their impact in the context of actual society.

What is Tokyo Living Lab?

Tokyo Living Lab is a place for people from diverse backgrounds, but especially for those who find a resonance in the concept of regeneration. Here they gather to discuss how to best introduce new value into everyday life. From these discussions comes visualization of the issues, deepening of learnings, prototyping that paves the way for new value creation, joint R&D projects, and even proposals for new businesses. Then the regenerative services and products born from these discussions and projects are implemented in the city and become a part of daily life.

Tokyo’s approach and efforts to become Regenerative City Tokyo have won both recognition and acclaim both domestically and abroad. There is growing awareness of Tokyo as a city that’s reinventing itself and creating a rich future. It is building the nucleus for a new ecosystem of innovation. As the magnetism of this ecosystem attracts more people and initiatives, the creation of new value and its implementation will expand and accelerate.

We of Tokyo Living Lab will share the knowledge, fruits of our efforts, and the solutions born here with the world, all in pursuit of our ultimate aim: realizing a regenerative world.
