6. Towards a Low Carbon Europe
EUROPEAN ENERGY AND CLIMATE TARGETS

7. • Large scale implementation projects
of smart city technologies
• Light House Cities carry out the
implementation
• Follower Cities which learn from the
results and develop replication plans
• Close collaboration of cities, big
industrial players, SMEs, academia
and civil society organizations
• Focus on creating business
opportunities and local eco systems
SMART CITY LIGHT HOUSE PROJECTS

8. • Is embedded into the Europe 2020 strategy
• Contributes to the European climate and energy
goals
• Focuses on system integration, especially on the
integration of energy and mobility systems
• ICT as seen enabler and consumer
• Cities and industries have a key role
• Stimulation of business opportunities
THE EUROPEAN SMART CITY INITIATIVE

9. • Citizen engagement: Living labs are being developed.
• Holistic refurbishment: Each lighthouse city aims to minimize by 60% on average the
energy consumption of buildings.
• Smart data and services: Smart Data Platforms enable the development of innovative
end user-oriented smart city services by increasing the number of datasets available,
and by encouraging the development of new services for different user groups, such as
real-time mobility application.

15 new emobility solitions saving 100 t CO2 per year
14.6 MW of newly installed capacity of renewable energy systems
130,000,000 € inevestment, creating 1,400 jobs
SMARTER TOGETHER
IMPACTS

12. • Improving the quality of life of citizens, by offering them a clean, safe, attractive, inclusive
and affordable living environment.
• Reducing the environmental impacts of activities by achieving a significant reduction of
CO2 emissions and a major increase in the investment and usage of renewable energy
sources.
• Creating a stimulating environment for sustainable economic development by generating
more sustainable jobs and inspiring community involvement in smart solutions.

13. RUGGEDISED
Working in partnership with businesses and research centres the cities are
demonstrating how to combine ICT, e-mobility and energy solutions to design smart,
resilient cities for all. This means improving the quality of life of citizens, reducing the
environmental impact of activities and creating a stimulating environment for
sustainable economic development.

CLUSTERS OF SOLUTIONS

15. • Efficiency gains are nowadays mainly achieved by
integration of systems, not by single technologies.
• To succeed, smart city projects need to be backed by a
broad coalition of triple helix actors:
• Cities and public administration
• Business and industry
• Research and academia
• Smart city technologies do not work „automatically“
• Need for viable business models
• Need for localized solutions
• Need for integration into relevant governance
processes
