Our Ecosystem

The GoodTech Living Lab operates within a national and European ecosystem of partners committed to ethical, inclusive, and human-centred innovation.

Our role is not to replace existing innovation structures, but to connect, complement, and strengthen them—by providing independent validation, societal readiness evidence, and ethical governance support where it is most needed.

  • EIC Accelerator readiness,

Together, we support SMEs and public organisations across the full innovation journey.

  • organisations operating in regulated or human-critical domains.

Our role is to provide neutral, independent validation that supports responsible decision-making.

The Agile People Romania community connects practitioners in leadership, HR, technology, organisational development.
This community acts as a national practice platform, contributing insights on psychological safety, inclusion, and human-centred work practices that inform Living Lab activities.
