The main goal of the first panel is to land the audience and prepare them for the theme and the rest of the programme of OLLD19. We invite panelists to share their messages on how the international innovation community can help the different organisations and institutions represented on the panel, implementing their policies and strategic work in practice, similarly identifying what are the barriers living labs can help them to overcome.
