The Living Lab network in Southern Africa (LLiSA) brings together stakeholders like universities, industries, governments, and communities to collaboratively develop new ICT products and services through real-world testing. Key elements of Living Labs include being user-driven, taking place in real-life contexts, being multidisciplinary, and covering different domains to benefit communities. LLiSA aims to create capacity for Living Labs in Southern Africa, support pilot projects, and facilitate collaboration between developers, researchers, industries, and governments. Challenges include increasing skills, managing expectations, and ensuring sustainable business models and equitable benefit sharing.
