The 'invention' of Smart Cities
1. SET¹-Plan financing Communication Adopted in October 2009
2. Complementing 'supply-push' approach Unlike the other SET-Plan Industrial Initiatives
3. Energy efficiency Cities account for major final energy demand
4. Requested by Council and EP
¹ SET-Plan = Strategic Energy Technologiy Plan
EnergyEnergy
Commission Communication
EnergyEnergy
Smart Cities EIP¹: Energy, ICT², Transport
1. Integrated approach • Energy, Transport and ICT²
2. Energy efficiency• ICT² both as enabler and consumer
3. Focus on industry involvement• Focus on demonstration projects • Aiming at market solutions• Business case
¹ EIP = European Innovation Partnership² ICT = Information and Communication Technologies
EnergyEnergy
Learning from experience
• CIVITAS• Covenant of Mayors• CONCERTO• Green Digital Charter • Urban Europe JP Initiative• Energy Efficient Buildings Public
Private Partnership (EeB PPP)• European Green Cars Initiative• European Energy Research Alliance
(EERA) Joint Programme on Smart Cities
EnergyEnergy
Covenant of Mayors
4407 signatoriesall over Europe
EnergyEnergy
Implementation
Supply side: •Large-scale demo projects ('lighthouse projects')
Demand side: •Business models•Public procurement •Regulatory measures (e.g. standards)
EnergyEnergy
R&D and validations of
vital SCC components
Initial demonstrations of SCC concepts
in city environments
Large-scale demonstration
s of SCC concepts in
city environments
Commercial roll-out in city environments
R&D funding, e.g. FP7 & Horizon 2020
Technical assistance,
structural funds, risk-sharingfacilities etc.
Horizontal Actions to inform the SCCfeed into research programmes and address market barriers
The Innovation Process
Innovation process and financing
Horizon 2020 and other fundingsources

Project parameters
EnergyEnergy
Recent & ongoing activities
July 2012 Joint Communication forEnergy, Transport and ICT
Comprehensive FP7 call for proposals (three sectors),budget: €209 Mio€209 Mio
Ensuring the link between technology projects and market roll-out through regional policy
EnergyEnergy
Next steps
• Council Conclusion on the EIP
• Engage stakeholders in the platform
• Develop Strategic Implementation Plan(2014-2020)
• Manage and devise integrative projects including demand-side measures
• Ensure link with regional policy(including Smart Specialisation)
