Workshop

From dream to reality: sharing experiences from leading European Smart Cities

European Week of Regions & Cities 2019

8 October 2019, 14:30 - 17:00
Brussels, Belgium- Committee of the Regions, room VM3, Rue Van Maerlant 2

As part of the European Week of Regions and Cities 2019, the first three projects funded under the Horizon2020 Smart City Lighthouse Programme – GrowSmarter, REMOURBAN, and Triangulum – will present their key findings at a joint event in Brussels on 8 October.

City representatives will present at the session ‘From dream to reality: sharing experiences from leading European Smart Cities’ to showcase the impacts they have achieved in terms of energy efficiency, smart mobility, ICT, governance and social acceptance, and what needs to be changed on an EU level to make the smart city dream into a reality.

The session will feature practitioners from cities such as ICLEI Members Stavanger (Norway), Barcelona (Spain), and Stockholm (Sweden), as well as from Manchester and Nottingham (United Kingdom), Eindhoven (The Netherlands), Cologne (Germany), Valladolid (Spain), and Seraing (Belgium). They will be joined by local political representatives to discuss the European impact on local implementation of smart city technology.

These cities are all part of the European Commission Horizon2020 funded Smart City Lighthouse Programme, which currently consists of 40 European Lighthouse cities and 50 Fellow cities, deploying and testing over 250 new solutions in energy, transport and digital technology.

The event will take place at the Committee of the Regions, room VM3, Rue Van Maerlant 2 in ICLEI Member Brussels (Belgium) from 14.30 – 17.00.
