Summit Showcase


  • RUGGEDISED - An inter-city innovation & co-operation model was presented at the TIA Summit - 2017

    RUGGEDISED is a smart city project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. It brings together three lighthouse cities and three follower cities

    To test, replicate and accelerate the shared deployment of smart solutions from energy, e-transport to digital technology in diverse city test-beds, with special attention to governance, business models, data and energy management, and urban systems integration.

    Working in partnership with businesses and research centres RUGGEDISED will demonstrate how to spur innovation, boost market uptake with higher energy and environmental standards and thereby reduce energy consumption, noise, CO2 and pollutant emissions to create smart, resilient cities for all.

  • Morgenstadt (City of the Future) model was presented at the TIA Summit - 2017

    The Fraunhofer Innovation Network “Morgenstadt / City of the Future“ is a platform of high-level first movers from cities and industry run by the German Fraunhofer-Society. It aims at developing and implementing socio-technical innovations for the city of the future.


    The fundamental goal of the network is to accelerate development that helps reduce energy and resource consumption while also enhancing the resilience and liveability of cities. The Morgenstadt initiative aims to apply the full scale of cutting-edge innovation management to a high-level network of cities and companies that are already working in the field of urban sustainability in Europe and around the world.

Themes

Sustainable
 Seeking a holistic approach to a green, clean, carbon neutral and efficient resource & waste management model for cities, the speakers presented and discussed feasible frameworks and innovative solutions that balance resource needs and productivity indices of the city.

Connected
 The session explored the creation of digital urban spaces, seamless and efficient mobility systems, integrated city management platforms and connected vehicle solutions.

Secure
Global growth in urbanization worldwide has tipped over the 50% mark of total world population and in this context creates structural challenges that influence cities and their security. As this trend rises - keeping the city safe and secure for all the diverse groups is critical to sustain a healthy social balance.The session saw offerings from MNCs and start-ups for safer cities.

Innovative
Forward-looking cities recognize the value of acting as consumers of innovation. Opening up procurement to new businesses can simultaneously bring more effective solutions for cities and provide entrepreneurs with a test bed to validate their products and services.

Inclusive
The great challenge that policy makers and economists have always faced is to ensure equity and justice, as growth and productivity rise. This session explored strategies to ensure that the urban poor and marginalized have access to resources and opportunities in the smart cities of the future.
