In the case accelerator, 20 startups developed innovative products atop the European FIWARE Future Internet technology platform. The novel design element of the case accelerator was the use of the living lab approach that was included for the purpose of engaging end users in the development and testing of new product prototypes. Our main result is that the living lab approach provided added value to participating companies and resulted in changes in their product development and marketing strategies. Overall, the case accelerator and the use of the living lab approach had a significant impact on the development, growth, and market success of the companies. Based on the results of the case accelerator, we propose the generic accelerator model presented by Pauwels and co-authors in 2016 to be extended with a new design element, the living lab approach. 10aaccelerator10acase study10aehealth10aLiving lab10aOpen innovation10aSME10astartup1 aHaukipuro, Lotta1 aVäinämö, Satu1 aArhippainen, Leena1 aOjala, Timo  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/122101466nas a2200193   4500008004100000022001400041245007100055210006900126260004200195300001000237490000600247520087500253653002901128653001601157653001901173100002101192700002101213856003801234       2019                        eng d  a1927-032100aDigital User Involvement in a Multi-Context Living Lab Environment0 aDigital User Involvement in a MultiContext Living Lab Environmen  aOttawabTalent First Networkc10/2019  a27-370 v93 aThis article provides new knowledge on the long-term use and value of a digital user involvement tool as a part of a living lab particularly in ICT, health and public service development contexts. Research has been carried out within the authentic living lab environment in 2011&ndash;2018. Empirical evidence is gathered from case living lab digital user involvement platform and activities conducted in multiple contexts. The primary source of information are the 70 in-depth interviews with the customer companies, public organizations and other stakeholders. The digital user community and user involvement tool-specific value for the development of products and services are a fast, easy and efficient user involvement regardless of time and location, tailored online methods based on the need of the customer, and the richness and quality of the end-user feedback.10aDigital user involvement10aliving lab.10auser community1 aHaukipuro, Lotta1 aVäinämö, Satu  uhttps://timreview.ca/article/127301599nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245007800055210006900133260004200202300001000244490000600254520086300260653001601123653002601139653002301165653001501188653000801203653001201211653002101223100002101244700002101265700002201286856003701308       2018                        eng d  a1927-032100aInnovation Instruments to Co-Create Needs-Based Solutions in a Living Lab0 aInnovation Instruments to CoCreate NeedsBased Solutions in a Liv  aOttawabTalent First Networkc05/2018  a22-350 v83 aThis multiple case study focuses on co-creation facilitated with innovation instruments in three different environments – a school, a hospital, and an airport – in which 12 SMEs and startups developed solutions based on predefined needs of customer organizations, and where stakeholders actively participated through user involvement methods facilitated by a living lab. The article provides new knowledge regarding the benefits of the co-creation, user involvement, and use of the living lab approach within different contexts. Our findings show concrete benefits of co-creation for stakeholders such as companies, customer organizations, and end users. Based on our results, we propose a new, generic model for using innovation instruments to facilitate co-creation for the development of needs-based products and services in different service domains.10aco-creation10ainnovation instrument10ainnovation process10aLiving lab10aSME10astartup10auser involvement1 aHaukipuro, Lotta1 aVäinämö, Satu1 aHyrkäs, Pauliina  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1156
