Well-Being Living Lab

Trebag’s Wellbeing Living Lab is a people-centered, real-world innovation space operated by TREBAG Vagyon- és Projektmenedzser Kft. in Nagykovácsi.

Its aim is to transform research and development results and methodologies born from international collaborations into practical solutions that support well-being, with the involvement of the local community.

What is the Well-being Living Lab?

The Trebag Living Lab focuses on:

Improving well-being and quality of life, with a particular focus on older adults.
Engaging end users in the co-design of services and methodologies
Adaptation of tools and training programmes developed through international projects
Engagement of local communities, institutions, and businesses

A Living Lab is an open innovation model in which new solutions are developed and tested not in a traditional laboratory but in real-life environments, with the active involvement of end users throughout the process.
