Why the attention?

•  Because open innova-on and smart ci-es emerge as a focal cross-‐cu6ng theme and strategy in present discussions about the Future Internet, Living Labs, and Innova-on and Compe--veness-‐driven (Urban) Development.

•  We need to beEer understand the challenges and the pathways to the ‘smart-‐er city’ in the context of what Europeans have entrusted collec-vely in their ‘smart ci-es’ outlook

•  Respond to the quest of the research and academic communi-es to iden-fy the defining components, cri-cal insights and ins-tu-onal means to create Smart Ci-es

EU Smart Cities Innovation Policies

•  It is in the heart of i2010–role of end-‐users in the Digital Society in sustaining services, applica-ons and content genera-on for scalability and mass-‐market

•  Bringing together Future Internet technologies with Living Labs methodologies and prac-ces as a viable way forward

•  “2020 Strategy” emphasizes smart, sustainable and inclusive growth; innova-on is where progress is mostly needed

•  Other EU programmes -‐Lisbon and Gothenburg strategies, Territorial Agenda, URBACT, Leipzig Urban Charter call for using all urban poten-als to address all dimensions of SD at the same -me and with the same weight through innova-on.

Dimension of Smart Cities Open Innovation

•  In developing collabora-ve processes between local ‘smart ci-zens’, government and developer communi-es

•  In offering a new way for ci-zens to share not just in the design but also in the delivery of services and contribute their own wisdom and experience in ways that can broaden and strengthen services and make them more effec-ve

•  In providing a viable agenda for a smart city system change

August 25, 2011 6


Smart Cities emerging trends •  Social interac;on is in the heart of the smart city model, in which the

infrastructures and services are jointly and dynamically discovered, invoked and composed by providers and users alike.

•  Crea;ng open ‘digital ci;zen-‐developer’ communi;es and establishing private-‐public-‐people partnerships (PPPPs) to find dynamic and imagina-ve ways to interact and create, drawing inspira-on and experience from open innova-on and sustainable urban development.

•  Deploying convergent Future Internet plaLorms and services for the promo-on of sustainable life and work styles in and across emergent networks of ‘smart’ ci-es.

•  Crea;ng Smart Open Innova;on Urban Ecosystems –specific urban se6ngs or innova-on playgrounds which combine innova-on and social and commercial ac-vi-es to enable open innova-on and showcase the benefits for locali-es of growing smarter and more sustainable.

•  Building new collabora;ons and networks so ci-es can understand innova-on, innovators understand ci-es, ci-zens to become effec-vely engaged and users to become content and service producers and deliverers.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

•  Wicked problems call for diverse types of knowledge, resource, participation and collaboration.

•  Behaviour change requires the motivation of millions of individuals and their communities; solutions cannot be pushed.

•  New, distributed and highly participatory systems imply new roles for public and private spheres: demand/user/citizen driven open RDI enabled by ICT.

•  Living Labs: open eco-systems engage and motivate stakeholders, stimulate collaboration, create lead markets and enable behavior transformation.

August 25, 2011 8

The Living Labs approach and methodology setting for open innovation

•  As a plaXorm for implemen-ng an open innova-on model to pilot different ini-a-ves towards the Europe 2020 perspec-ve of well-‐being and sustainability.

•  As a user-‐driven innova-on ecosystems based on a business-‐ci-zens-‐government partnership to enable users to take ac-ve part in the research, development and innova-on process

•  As an ecosystem in which new products and services are created, prototyped and used in real-‐-me environments

•  Where users are not treated as object in the innova-on process or as mere customers, but as early stage contributors and innovators

Conclusions: Smart Cities •  Cities are being transformed by the impact of globalization and rapid

technological evolution. Sustainable Urban Well Being trends are emerging driven by the direct participation of the citizens. This includes user behaviour transformation achieved by the participatory environment enabled by the LivingLabs and implemented by innovative collaborative SMEs.

•  Cities are increasingly becoming dynamic Living Environments requiring the capacity to enable and adapt to fast technological, societal and cultural changes. Living Lab collaboration methodologies can be the answer to address these changes and support the engagement and exploitation of business opportunities by SMEs.

•  Sustainable Energy and mobility are important trends of the emerging Well Being Urban Living Lab Paradigm. Local energy micro-generation, distribution (Smart Metering/Smart Grid) and storage require new business models and new policies where innovative SMEs can have a major role in the experimentation, implementation and exploitation of the new emerging business enabled by Future Internet, Internet of Things and Social Innovation.

August 25, 2011 21

Conclusions: Sustainable Smart Cities

•  Sustainable Smart cities are open-innovation ecosystems where creativity and knowledge co-creation and sharing naturally flourishes stimulated and supported by open innovative policies and future internet environments.

•  Networked Sustainable Smart Cities acting as drivers and enablers of user driven open innovation will be the platforms for the societal transformations of the future.

•  Future Internet technologies, Living Labs and Social Innovation enable Sustainable Smart Cities co-creation where citizens’ sense of belonging and identity, wellbeing and togetherness, form a better and happier society.
