Accelerating urban innovation

At DOLL Living Lab, we are committed to driving digital transformation in urban spaces by combining cutting-edge technologies, real-world testing, and collaboration across public, private, and academic sectors.

Our comprehensive innovation process is built on a unique framework that we refer to as the “Three layers of smartness,” guiding members from concept development to fully integrated, data-driven urban solutions.

Our innovation methodology

DOLL Living Lab offers a neutral platform where companies, cities, and researchers come together to explore, test, and implement smart city technologies. Our structured approach is designed to enhance urban innovation.

Whether you’re looking to develop a proof of concept or scale your existing solutions, DOLL Living Lab provides the tools, expertise, and network to accelerate your innovation. Explore the future of smart cities with us and create sustainable, data-driven solutions for the urban challenges of tomorrow.

Real-life testing

We provide a physical outdoor environment where partners can test their solutions in real-world conditions. From lighting systems to IoT devices, we facilitate the deployment and testing of technologies in our expansive 1.5 km² living lab.

Our plug-and-play infrastructure ensures a smooth testing process, enabling rapid experimentation and iteration.

Solution interoperability, data quality and AI testing

In the context of evolving EU regulations on data, AI, and interoperability, DOLL helps companies future-proof their intelligent urban solutions.

We provide guidance and expertise on obtaining high-quality, standardized data. With support from our local digital twin, we can collect and visualize data from various urban sources (e.g., mobility, environment, and lighting). This enables companies to develop, test, and demonstrate AI-driven solutions that enhance urban living while complying with emerging EU standards. DOLL supports companies in navigating the changing regulatory landscape.

Scenario creation & digital twin technology (Coming in 2025)

One of our most innovative tools is the DOLL Digital Twin. This virtual model of urban infrastructure allows partners to simulate and optimize their solutions before deploying them in the real world. By visualizing potential scenarios through combinations of data and identifying challenges ahead of time, partners as well as public entities save costs and time, enhancing decision-making and reducing risks.

The Digital Outdoor Living Lab Experience

Our visitor service is a showcase for innovation, co-creation, and new market opportunities. It provides a unique platform to highlight and demonstrate smart city solutions. This enables investors and decision makers from both the public and private sectors to experience technology firsthand, evaluate its potential, and make informed investment decisions.
