摘要

Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) promote innovation and competitiveness in various sectors. However, despite technological advances, many communities remain excluded from benefits due to economic, physical and social barriers. This exclusion is particularly evident among elderly, disabled and economically disadvantaged populations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for inclusive solutions that leverage KETs to fill these gaps. This paper explores how KETs can be integrated into service design to foster inclusive living communities. A series of exemplary case studies are presented, which illustrate the successful implementation of KETs in inclusive living environments. Finally, the advantages, drawbacks and consequences of these implementations are analysed with the aim of suggesting KETs-oriented service-based solutions designed to assist in the establishment of inclusive living communities, with the objective of fostering social inclusion and sustainable development.
