The Hague has requested €500,000 in regional support for the further development of Living Lab Binckhaven, where businesses, education institutions and government partners test ideas in practice.

The area around De Titaan and the Caballero Fabriek provides space for projects dealing with energy, greener surroundings, accessibility and liveability. Students can gain practical experience alongside entrepreneurs developing products and services.

According to the municipality’s 28 October announcement, the requested contribution from the Rotterdam-The Hague metropolitan partnership, combined with partner contributions, could enable more than €1 million of investment in projects over the coming years.

The Living Lab is intended to connect innovation with improvements to the surrounding area, including public space and greenery.

The announcement concerns a funding request. It should not be read as confirmation that the regional contribution has already been awarded.
