The implementation of Living Labs in Portugal started in the 90’s, and since then it has played a central role in the socio-economic development of the country. This article aims at describing the current status of innovation activities in Portugal, with a focus on both strengths and weaknesses and the need for new approaches that can lead to more open innovation and a greater proximity to citizens. The successful uptake of this new view on innovation is hinged on the need to identify the current stakeholders and the way they act during the process of implementation. Through the analysis of Portuguese Living Labs, which have become a serious reference in the socio-economic development of the country, it is possible to extract recommendations in order to promote a more open, participatory, trusting and healthier society.
