CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

POTENT-X is looking for a third Living Lab

Is your port ready to lead the green transition?
The POTENT-X research consortium is looking for a third Living Lab partner to join an ambitious European project driving the decarbonization of the maritime sector.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for a partner who is already, to some extent, working with stakeholder collaborations and real-life testing of clean energy innovations, and who is interested in a Living Lab Network certification. Additionally, it is a plus if they are already working with digital twins, smart ports, or another POTENT-X-aligned theme.

Why join as a Living Lab?
Participating ports will:

  • Receive Living Lab training (including webinars, workshops, focus groups, and governance model development)
  • Access a transnational network of researchers and innovators
  • Gain visibility as a leader in green port transformation
  • Receive financial support ranging from €50,000-100,000 to implement Living Lab activities

What’s expected?

  • Active participation in all training and co-creation activities
  • Commitment of staff and resources
  • Engagement starting no later than 1 January 2026

Interested?
We invite port authorities with a strong sustainability vision and interest in innovation to contact us for more information and next steps.

THe European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL)

The European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) is an international non-profit association based in Brussels (Belgium) that aims to promote and enhance user-driven innovation ecosystems, more precisely, the Living Labs concept. ENoLL focuses on facilitating knowledge exchange, joint actions, and project partnerships among its +480 members, influencing EU policies, promoting Living Labs, and enabling their implementation worldwide.


The ENoLL network aims to create pan-European experiments and prototypes for new markets, based on the Digital Single Market. It is an open engagement platform where new business models can be co-designed, experimented with, and developed, all based on a quadruple helix approach, creating safety nets for experiments and prototypes with new roles of the public sector as enabler and catalyzer.
