Europe (and the rest of the western world) faces many challenges in the future: integration of the new member states, continued competition in important business sectors, solving the healthcare issues of an ageing population, to name but a few. Probably the most important challenge is increasing the overall productivity and job creation in the society in general. It is wellknown that developing the ability to be creative and innovative in a society influenced by stress, lack of time, and other factors, is perhaps the most important key towards increasing the overall productivity of a future European society. Rather than the ability to produce low cost products or creating new knowledge more efficient, innovation and creativity is the key to the future. Mathijs van Zupthen [1] outlines some of the new paradigms in a society more focused on innovation. This includes changing some of the underlying fundamentals of the overall economic system of today, which is based on that knowledge is scarce, owning properties and controlling rights is the means of controlling the economical system of today’s society. Technology enables new value-chains, often without its chain attributes, becoming more network-like and the user/citizen/consumer is given new tools and relations to participate in those value networks thereby becoming as much producer as consumer. This paper examines the state-of-the art in involving the user and organisations into the innovation process in various initiatives ongoing, examines the key practices that needs to be in place and gives examples on how those have been deployed. The proposed systemic innovation approach presented under the name of Living Labs contributes to the coming challenges of massdeployment of ICT solutions as a mean to further develop the society involving the citizens. It brings the users/consumers/citizens into the system of innovation, thereby leveraging on a larger mass of ideas, knowledge and experiences etc and substantially boosting the innovation capability.
