The Marketplace of the European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities is aimed at those who are active in the challenging area of Smart Cities and wish to know more about and contribute to ongoing and future activities across Europe.
Following its kick off on 9th October 2014, the Market Place General Assembly will include a session open to the general public to present the latest developments and plans for the Partnership during the Metropolitan Solutions 2015. This presentation will be followed by breakout sessions for each of the Action Clusters to discuss objectives, strategies and action plans.
An Action Cluster is an assembly of partners committing to work on specific issues related to smart cities, by sharing the knowledge and expertise with their peers, giving added-value to their national and local experience and identifying gaps that need to be fulfilled at European level. Stakeholders wishing to get involved in one of the 6 Action Clusters set up so far were selected through an "Invitation for Commitment" application process.
The 6 Action Clusters which have been set up so far are:
- Business models
- Citizen Focus
- Integrated infrastructure & processes (including Open Data)
- Policy & Regulations / Integrated planning
- Sustainable Districts and Built Environment
- Sustainable Urban Transport
