What are the main activities of your innovation space?
Within the Lorraine Fab Living Lab, various activities stimulate innovation and creativity.

It offers an open, functional space for prototyping, at the crossroads of open innovation, collective creativity, the Living Lab and the FabLab. The experiments carried out are based on collaborative approaches, involving users in the design and development of concrete solutions for the territories of the future.
