IntroductionCo-creation links distributed sources of knowledge (Tanev et al., 2011) and conceptualizes innovation as the collaborative development between two or more stakeholders. Co-creation is also described act creating value to mutual benefit actors, beyond actual product service in a way (Allen

• Living labs are deployed widely but their pragmatic nature hinders impact evaluation. Impact evaluation can be made applicable to ‘fuzzy’ innovation tools such as living labs. This indicates contribution significant economic effects for participants. A number of methodological recommendations follow-up evaluations.

In nowadays knowledge economy, no more general 'best practice' innovation management exists. Within this paper we investigate the potential of Living Labs as open systems that foster different transfers amongst actors participating in them. By means an in-depth case study research explore a variety hypotheses abstracted from literature on and other variables influencing exchange collaboration systems. We conclude given certain criteria are met, can be solution for sustainable development.
