The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) invites senior decision-makers, innovators and academics in the fields of real estate, infrastructure, finance and technology to the Living Lab Summit, the formal launch of the Living Lab.
Housed within the award‑winning Entopia Building, the Living Lab is a collaborative test‑bed, collecting real‑time performance data to showcase cutting‑edge solutions for low carbon, resource‑efficient, socially inclusive places.
Our mission is to accelerate the demonstration, validation, and adoption of innovations in order to transform how we design, retrofit, and manage buildings and communities.
The Summit will give attendees first‑hand insight into the Living Lab’s facilities, access to its growing data‑lake and a unique opportunity to shape the research, partnerships and investment priorities that will define the future of built environment innovation.
