Abstract
In this paper, we present the vision for Maputo Living Lab (MLL), which started in January 2011, as part of a network of Living Labs located in developed and in developing regions. The Maputo Living Lab has the purpose of activating a transfer of competences, innovation and education between Trentino (an Autonomous Province in Northern Italy), Mozambique and other developing countries. The tight connection between Mozambique and Trentino makes some characteristics of MLL unique in the Living Labs panorama and poses various challenges that we describe in this paper.
