SkyeLab Living Lab was founded in 2021 by local volunteers in response to the ‘Centre of Excellence’ and ‘Digital Innovation’ recommendations of the Sir Lewis Ritchie report. SkyeLab is based in Portree, Isle of Skye.
SkyeLab aims to demonstrate the ‘art-of the-possible’ in digital Technology Enabled Care that ordinary families can buy and implement for themselves.
Update: Nov 2024: SkyeLab was originally incorporated in 2021 as SkyeLab CIC, a Community Interest Company. In May 2024, due to a lack of funding and long-term viability, the directors took the decision to dissolve the CIC and transfer all residual assets to the CIC’s named beneficiary Portree & Braes Community Trust (PBCT). The hope and intention is that SkyeLab can continue its mission in a low cost virtual format. While no longer an independent CIC, SkyeLab will continue to operate the Technology Demonstrator & Library as a mini-project under the governance of PBCT and run on a voluntary basis by a PBCT member.
