Smart cities a fertile ground for ICT innovation

Cities offer an excellent infrastructure for Internet research and innovation
Broadband broadly available Active local research labs Efficient innovation ecosystems Functioning service infrastructures

Energy consumptions and emissions are concentrated in cities

ICT as a major consumer ICT enabling energy reduction Green Digital Charter

The EU Research and Innovation Programmes support a wide range of initiatives with smart cities as key stakeholders
Smart cities are key catalysers for applications & services They are the core of large scale experiments

Motivation for the EC to act under the CIP-PSP Programme

New and often revolutionary internet technologies are maturing
Ready for a new wave of internet-based services Transforming our way of life Digital Agenda for Europe Spectrum policy digital dividend

New broadband infrastructures are emerging Fragmented market of island solutions a barrier for broad take-up

Innovation ecosystems can bridge

Single solutions in individual cities Pilots of limited scope Fragmented groups of stakeholders Need for open platforms for internet-based services

Work well locally in cities or regions High potential for exploiting synergies across borders

Open Innovation for Future Internetenabled Services in Smart Cities

7 pilots starting 2010 15 M EU funding Similar Initiative envisaged for 2011 focus on: Ultra-fast wireless connectivity Internet service platforms Catch up for less developed urban areas
25 Smart Cities in 15 Member States

User-driven open innovation ecosystems

Cross-border networks of smart cities

Innovative Internet-based services

Supported by the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme under ICT Policy Support
