All those working in articificial intelligence (AI) are invited to join a cutting-edge pre-commercial procurement (PCP) process today!
Tenderers are invited to submit innovative AI solutions in the fields of energy and mobility. These solutions should contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in six key cities and regions: ICLEI Members Copenhagen (Denmark), Helsinki (Finland), and Stavanger (Norway), as well as Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Île-de-France – Paris Region (France), and Tallinn (Estonia). The call is open until 28 February 2021.
These six target cities and regions have developed ambitious strategies and policy plans to become carbon neutral by no later than 2050. They are now seeking AI solutions to accelerate their transition to carbon neutrality. They are seeking artificial intelligence and related enabling technologies – such as big data applications, 5G, edge computing and IoT – that open innovative ways to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. These solutions should address energy- and mobility-related challenges, as these two domains are responsible for 82 percent of emissions in European cities.
Potential suppliers can submit offers in two lots: 1- Mobility and 2- Energy. The PCP will be split into three phases: a solution design phase, a prototyping phase, and a piloting phase.
Tenderers’ offers will be evaluated by a so-called "Buyers Group", consisting of Forum Virium Helsinki, representing the Helsinki, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stavanger and Tallinn, as well as Cap Digital, which represents the Paris Region. Forum Virium Helsinki is the Lead Procurer.
