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:Context Broker Webinar 1: Open Context information management at the core of smart applications
DESCRIPTION:Agenda of the training \n\nWhat is the Context Broker\nDemonstration of use cases\nBenefits of Context Broker and common standards\nQ & A\n\nPlease Register here.     \n(the same webinar will also be held on 1st August\, 15:00 – 16:00. Please register through the same link.) \n  \nLearn how to integrate near real-time data through CEF Context Broker trainings\n \nThe European Commission understands that making sense of data and connecting the dots is not easy. More so since each European city operates in a unique context\, gathering data from different sources\, in different ways. \nThe Connecting Europe Facility offers the Context Broker building block\, which centralises\, contextualises and gives meaning to collected data. This enables people like you\, from the public administration or private sector\, to access data that is already filtered\, organised and labeled so that you could leverage on it and create smart applications. Furthermore\, the Context Broker is built on common European standards making it interoperable and sustainable. \nIf you want to extend your know-how on how you can manage your context information\, join our set of trainings and learn how to integrate the Context Broker services and knowledge into your IT department. \nRegister now for the upcoming webinars! \nContext Broker. Empowering smart innovation.
