SUMMARY:Releasing the Power of Procurement
DESCRIPTION:Releasing the Power of Procurement – Crossing the ‘Valley of Death’ Between Pilots and Large-Scale Deployment of IoT-Enabled Services \nPlease register here. \nIn the European Union\, public procurement accounts for 14% of GDP demonstrating the high potential of public procurement to support policy objectives\, to stimulate innovation and hence\, jobs and economic growth. \nBut current public procurement processes are struggling to keep up with the fast pace of digital innovation and data-driven solutions in key application domains such as smart cities & communities\, health-care and energy. As a result\, public administrations and their communities are not reaping the full potential of digital transformation through public procurement. \nPublic procurement as a tool has largely failed to help administrations and companies cross the ‘valley of death’ for digital and data-driven solutions between small-scale experimentation and real-life scale-up across Europe. The net result is a European digital transformation with brakes on due to the inadequate risk profiles along the innovation cycles. Strategic cooperation and interoperability between public administrations across Europe can help to lower the risks for first movers while helping SMEs to create scalable markets for innovative solutions across Europe. \nThis workshop aims to \n\nStimulate a debate on the benefits and shortcomings of public procurement processes and how to fix the shortcomings to benefit both public purchasers and the local innovation ecosystem.\nDiscuss the role of open standards for public administrations and the local innovation ecosystem for procuring digital\, IoT-enabled solutions\nExplore possible ways forward in deepening the European cooperation in procurement of innovative IoT solutions and services.\nShowcase innovative procurement methods from advanced sectors as well as domain frontrunners\n\nAgenda\n09:30 – 09:45 Welcome \n\nPeter Wintlev-Jensen\, Policy Officer\, IoT Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\nMartin Brynskov\, Chair\, OASC / Coordinator\, SynchroniCity & NGIoT\n\n09:45 – 10:00 Setting the Scene \n\nDavor Meersman\, CEO\, OASC\n\n10:00 – 12:00 Panel debate: How Can the Public Sector Foster Innovation? Benefits and Challenges of Experiments and Procurement \nInput Talk: Lieve Bos\, Policy Officer\, Innovation Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission \n\nInnovation Procurement in the EU\n\nPanel speakers: \nKarin Goedheid\, Digipolis Antwerp \n\nThe current state of procurement and how to enable innovation in the public service\n\nNathan Pierce\, Greater London Authority / Sharing Cities \n\nRole of procurement to stimulate investment in cities & communities\n\nCatherine De Dordolot\, GOVERN & LAW \n\nPower of Law: Legal Perspective on Innovation Procurement\n\nLieve Bos\, Policy Officer\, Innovation Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission \nModerated by Martin Brynskov\, OASC \n12:00 – 13:00 Lunch Break \n13:00 – 14:30 SMEs & Public Procurement \nSMEs are considered the backbone of the European economy. Does public procurement take the needs of the local innovation ecosystem and particularly SMEs into account? How can standards-based procurement foster a thriving local economy? \nPanel speakers: \nSebastiano Toffaletti\, Secretary-General\, Digital SME Alliance / ETSI \nMarlene Grauer\, Coordinator\, Procure2Innovate Project / Association for Supply Chain Management\, Procurement and Logistics \nJoao Rodrigues Frade\, Head of Sector\, Building Blocks\, DG DIGIT\, European Commission \nModerated by Davor Meersman\, OASC \n14:30 – 15:00 Coffee Break \n15:00 – 16:30  Best Practices & Next Steps for Innovation Procurement in Europe \nModerator: Bernadett Köteles-Degrendele\, EUROCITIES \nPanelists \n\nAmalia Ochoa\, ICLEI [TBC]\nIan Makgill\, OpenOpps / “They Buy For You” project\n\nRamon Maspons\, Agència de Qualitat i Avaluació Sanitàries de Catalunya (AQuAS)\nWim De Kinderen\, Brainport Eindhoven / ENoLL\n\n16:30 – 16:45: Conclusion and Main Takeaways \n16:45 – 17:30 Stakeholder Session: Certification for Interoperability for data-driven and digital solutions – Feedback from the Procurement Community

SUMMARY:Large-Scale IoT & Data Marketplaces
DESCRIPTION:Real-time data and real-time brokering of data transactions are becoming central in our increasingly data-driven societies\, linked to both economic\, social and environmental development. \nPlease register here. \n  \nBy 2025\, real-time data is projected to make up more than a quarter of all data being created\, and the vast majority will be IoT data (IDC\, 2018). This means that all sectors and all organisations need robust ways to share IoT data and orchestrate the services relying on them\, including AI-based analytics and blockchain/DLTs. \nAs we’re looking into a near future where infrastructure and value chains are increasingly linked to partnerships and ecosystems\, we see data spaces and data lakes with complex governance structures as the foundation for service delivery and meeting societal priorities. \nThis new situation must be met by similarly tuned transaction mechanisms. Whether monetised or not\, such transactions cannot happen without clear and transparent\, but also agile\, terms and conditions: service level agreements\, retention\, ownership etc. \nThe workshop will take its starting point in ecosystems where such transformative marketplaces\, or ecosystem transaction management mechanisms\, are already forming and being discussed. These include Smart Cities & Communities\, Food & Farming\, Healthcare and Automotive. \nPurpose \nThe purpose of the workshop is to bring key European stakeholders together to: \n\nDiscuss the value proposition of an ecosystem-based approach to transaction management related to IoT and data (data\, services\, components\, hardware and training)\, both monetised and non-monetised\,\nLearn from existing cases and implementations of IoT & data marketplaces and emerging needs\, including technical underpinnings and issues of governance in emerging infrastructure partnerships\,\nIdentify most promising paths to a sustainable scale-up of IoT & data marketplaces\, including key actors and instruments from both supply- and demand-side\, and taking into account the need to protect local priorities and critical infrastructure.

SUMMARY:Moving towards Smart Cities: Tackling Urban Challenges Using Technology-Based Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable development of urban areas is a key challenge. The on-going process of urbanisation is only expected to further increase in the future\, raising new environmental and human challenges. Currently\, 74% of the European Union’s population lives in cities\, as they constitute the main poles of human and economic activity (UN\, 2018). The large urban areas are hubs for innovation\, education and concentrate 53% of the EU GDP\, but remain centres of inequalities and greenhouse gas emissions (Eurostat 2016). However\, the development of user-friendly and efficient information and communication technology (ICT) leads the way to the creation of sustainable\, resilient and responsive cities. \nDelegates will: \n\nDiscuss the concept of Smart City and its practical implementation in the EU\nReflect on the opportunities and challenges posed by the development of ICT\nExplore the implementation of sustainable technologies for transportation and housing\nDetermine ways to modernise urban economy via platforms and Big Data\nDevelop understanding on the importance of digital tools in energy consumption\nLearn how to further include citizens in their city’s decisions making process\nAnalyse existing smart-city projects and share best practice\n\nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Digital Building Blocks for Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION:Dare to rethink your city. Be part of a Smarter Europe. \nPlease register here. \nToday\, we purchase our groceries\, book the next gym class or order a shared car service via a few swipes and taps on our phones. \nWe are increasingly more loyal to and fond of companies that enable these simple\, direct contact points. Yet\, our interactions with governments are in most cases still burdensome\, time-consuming and bureaucratic. \nGovernments\, cities and municipalities can’t stay behind this digital transformation that seamlessly connects citizens and businesses. European public administrations are striving to build Smart Cities to create smarter connections between citizens\, businesses and governments. \nThe European cities Paris\, Amsterdam and Barcelona have been named among the top 10 Smart Cities worldwide. They are transforming their urban environments through technology by using data to connect\, digitalise and make their cities future proof. \nThe European Union can help you transform your city too! \nThe European Commission\, through the CEF Digital programme\, offers eight digital services that can support your digital transformation to a smarter city.\nEvery service is free of charge\, cross-border\, open-source and standard compliant and tested. These services enable smart interactions between citizens\, businesses and public administrations.
