Aarhus City Lab is a digital playground and showroom for Smart City solutions in the city of Aarhus
At Aarhus City Lab we work with the development, testing and demonstration of new technologies using the city as a living testbed for Smart City solutions.
Our aim is to strengthen digital green innovation in Aarhus Municipality and help stimulate the market for new digital solutions to the public sector.
We take a future-oriented and exploratory approach to addressing the city's challenges while building strong partnerships with companies, researchers, students, and citizens to create digital solutions that benefit both operations and the public.
Although based in Aarhus, we engage in cross-regional, national, and international projects, often representing the 13 municipalities in central Jutland through GovTech Midtjylland.
With the whole city as a living lab, companies can accelerate their time to market by testing their AI or robotics solutions in Aarhus using the infrastructure, open data and users accessible given the right test case. We have already tested products and technology with both the private and public sectors, and we are continuously expanding our capacities for testing facilities and possible development projects.
Robot testing zones
We have recently launched three testing zones for urban mobile robots right in the heart of Aarhus. This gives robotics innovators the chance to test various scenarios and at different maturity levels be it in a busy pedestrian area or green urban spaces - and the municipality can simultaneously investigate how technology can support future maintenance and operation of the city.
The zones are an integrated part of the public space, so testing here means testing in a real urban environment with people, traffic and the natural unpredictability of a living city.
