The fourth meeting of León’s Local Living Lab (LLLL) on November 21, 2023, involved 35 participants from 20 entities across administration, academia, business/companies, and citizenship. The primary goal was to gain a comprehensive understanding of ongoing developments in León. Post-pandemic, Next Generation funds have spurred numerous projects, leading to a need for additional time in the third LLL to discuss these initiatives, particularly in energy transition. The fourth Living Lab aimed to conclude pending discussions from the previous session with a continued emphasis on understanding the diverse projects and actions in progress. Two round tables focusing on mobility and energy-city further facilitated interactive discussions, questioning, synergies, and debates, ensuring a dynamic and collaborative environment within the Lab.

The third meeting of the Local Living Lab of León (LLLL) was held on 27 July 2023. The total number of participants was 26 people, representing 15 different entities from the four sectors of the quadruple helix model: administration, academia, business/companies and citizenship.
The intention of this third Living Lab was to compile everything that is happening now in the city of León since, after the pandemic and thanks to the Next Generation funds, many projects are being implemented and launched. To this end, two round tables were held, where each entity explained what projects are being carried out or are about to be implemented, what actions related to the energy transition are already a reality. The format of the round tables, one on mobility and the other on energy and the city, allowed for question-and-answer sessions and small debates to clarify the points of conflict and existing problems, as well as the benefits and changes that are taking place.

The second meeting of the Leon Living Lab (LLL) about energy was held on December 2, 2022. This LLL is the meeting space for the stakeholders involved in the energy transition of the city of León, as well as in an efficient and effective execution of its SECAP. On this occasion, 10 entities belonging to the four sectors of the quadruple helix model participated. Following the “Living Lab Integrative Process” and the principles of Design Thinking, the attendees worked on the definition of existing problems, the context and the users, as well as the needs and potentialities related to the energy within the city of León.
