A Digital Agenda for Europe
The 7 pillars: digital single market openness & interoperability online trust & security Internet for all ICT research & innovation digital inclusion digital public services
These challenges are as well key challenges for cities in becoming “smarter”

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

Role of LLs and Smart Cities in the FIRE Initiative
• Smart cities as multifaceted testbed environments
• Living Labs to bring end-users to the experiments – not only preach it but do it!
• FIREball as the link between ENoLL and FIRE • Relevant Calls:
– FIRE Experimentation: ICT Obj. 1.6, 15 M€, Small STREPs, Call 8, autumn 2011
– Open Calls of FIRE Facility projects for Experiments >20 experiments, ~5M€ funding, calls in 2011/12

SMART SANTANDER A large research project focused
on Internet services in the city
• unique in the world city-scale experimental research facility in support of typical applications and services for a smart city
• more than 20,000 sensors based on a real life IoT deployment in an urban setting.
• EU funding 6M€ at shared cost with project partners
• Additional city/regional support for sensor infrastrcutures
www.smartsantander.eu
Funded under Challenge 1 of the ICT theme

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
• New broadband infrastructures are emerging – Digital Agenda for Europe – Spectrum policy – digital dividend
• Fragmented market of island solutions – a barrier for broad take-up – Single solutions in individual cities – Pilots of limited scope – Fragmented groups of stakeholders – Need for open platforms for internet-based services
• Innovation ecosystems can bridge – Work well locally in cities or regions – High potential for exploiting synergies across borders
22
Open Innovation for Future Internet-enabled 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

Conclusions
The Digital Agenda for Europe and the ICT related initiatives under the EU research and innovation programmes strongly contribute to making our cities smarter thereby supporting the integrated and intelligent growth of urban areas
