Key learning:
LIE to drive innovation and city to facilitate innovation
Examples of success by SmartImpact cities and LIEs
Manchester:
Retain talent in digital sector – building talent
pipeline working with education providers to
influence course provision. Working with
companies for bespoke training and mentoring
young talent. Developing apprenticeship
scheme. Nourish ecosystem.
Dublin:
• Activating Dublin report (Chamber of
Commerce) recommended Start up rep. as
easy access point for LIE.
• Funding programme resulting in a range of
projects delivered over 2 years.
• Reviewed & evolved, e.g. Digital hub joined.
• Looking at how to measure impact of new
ideas, e.g. ROI.
• Brought whole ecosystem together.
Examples of success by SmartImpact cities and LIEs
Zagreb:• Connect stakeholders in LIE. Created a
signed agreement between LIE,
universities and key stakeholders to
support the LIE.
• Non equity funding support – 5 start ups
supported.
Workshop – Smart Solutions for district challenges
Partner challenges identified:
• Bureaucracy
• Fragmentation of ecosystem
• Opening up local living labs to external
companies & measure citizen interaction
• Lack of dialogue and poor communication
• Accept city cannot control ecosystem and
that it will change at a faster pace than cities
• Lack of specialist staff to support and
manage the process
• Loss of talent to other cities
• Fragmented city administration
• Identification of resources to support
ecosystem, e.g. finance
• Lack of leadership and political influences,
e.g. change in administration changing
strategy
• Lack of innovation mind-set in the city
• Align offer and demand
Common areas workshopped:
• Bureaucracy & Leadership = Porto example of ‘driver’ and collective leadership & collaboration model and link to strategic plans and cuts across bureaucracy.
• Communication and scale up = package offer and share story, e.g. Porto book
• Lack of specialists & talent migration, and, Aligning offer & demand and manage process = co-operation between universities and companies and identify common goal.
• Company engagement and living labs = M/c example of working with LIE to get solutions and soft market testing before going to market

Theme:
Data Integration – Smart data platforms and data analysis to develop smart
services
Learning Needs:
1) What requirements are needed (technology, contract and other) to be able
to integrate urban services provided by different provider on a data level?
2) What are criteria for defining data, key indicators and their connection?
3) Who should and who should not have access to what types of different
datasets?
4) What data needs to be anonymized on an urban platform? (Global issue)
Next Meeting: 3 - 4 October in Guadalajara
