THE FUTURE INTERNET PPP AND THE CONCORD PROJECT

11.10.2011 Future Internet, Smart Cities – Coming Your Way 3rd Innovation Summit at the European Parliament

Prof. Álvaro de Oliveira // Aalto University // ENoLL

CONTENT •  Why focus on the Future Internet? •  Roadmap towards Digital Economy •  Cities as systems of systems •  Implementation barriers for Digital Economy •  CONCORD and its impact •  Added value of CONCORD to the FI PPP Community •  Living Labs as catalyst of systemic innovation •  Added value of LLs to the FI PPP Community

WHY FOCUS ON THE FUTURE INTERNET? •  Future Internet is a core infrastructure in society, a

backbone for smarter cities and regions •  Novel societal and commercial usages are challenging

the original Internet architecture •  Increased urgency to:

-  Assume systems perspective and analyze the market impacts -  Prioritise visions and research directions in ICT -  Accumulate critical mass and engage wider communities -  Align and work across Work Programs and Calls

ROADMAP TOWARDS DIGITAL ECONOMY •  Digital Single Market •    Openness and interoperability even in absence of

standards •  Increased online trust and security •  Internet for all through improved coverage •  Funds for innovation and ICT research •  Digital inclusion •  Digital public services

CONCORD •  Coordination and collaboration facilitation for the Next Generation FI

PPP

•  Consortium with strong background in User Driven Open Innovation (e.g Living Lab) and Smart City experimentation

•  Applying the frameworks and principles of organizing, managing and governing multi-stakeholder open innovation networks learned in the CIP projects

•  Advocate open innovation, early user involvement, SME engagement and links to related initiatives

CONCORD IMPACT •  Accelerated development of experimental infrastructures for large-scale

trials •  Providing a comprehensive approach towards functionalities and non-

technical aspects (e.g. interoperability, openness, standards, data security and privacy)

•  Accelerated evolution of Future Internet infrastructure and ensured system compatibility

•  Emergence of open, secure and trusted service platform and scalable networked applications through coordination and joint specifications

•  Increased effectiveness and alignment of activities •  management of interdependencies, defining a use rights for platform use •  Increased economic service sustainability •  novel business models, cross-sector industrial partnerships & early user

involvement

ADDED VALUE FOR THE FI PPP COMMUNITY •  Advancing FI PPP implementation through the identification,

articulation, recommendation and consensus-building on the identified technical and non-technical enablers for FI PPP

•  Increased stability and sustainability of the communities •  Ensuring and facilitating the participation of SME’s, (user)

communities and citizens in addition to the incumbent players •  Tools, frameworks and open platforms for stakeholder

cooperation •  Increased visibility of the projects outcome and possible use

cases •  Bridging gaps in research and policies •  Networking and exchanging information concerning FI PPP

IMPLEMENTATION BARRIERS FOR THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR THE DIGITAL ECONOMY

•  Wicked problems call for diverse types of knowledge, resource, participation and collaboration.

•  Behaviour change requires the motivation of millions of individuals and their communities; solutions cannot be pushed.

•  New, distributed and highly participatory systems imply new roles for public and private spheres: demand/user/citizen driven open RDI enabled by ICT.

LIVING LABS

LIVING LABS AS CATALYSTS OF SYSTEMIC INNOVATION

ENGAGING LIVING LABS: WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

“I feel the European Network of Living Labs is becoming a birthplace for sustainable cities. The living labs are proving to be the ideal way to bring citizens, government and businesses together for co-innovation. Living

labs give both governments and citizens a way to explore various options to sustainable city initiatives and helps free them from limited choices

provided by the big IT vendors. City officials face overwhelming options in

selecting new technologies, and a living lab offers them a way to gain insights through vendor-neutral research.”

Pieter Ballon, IBBT / i.Lab.o

ENGAGING LIVING LABS: THE ADDED VALUE

Engagement from a double perspective: •  the living labs creating new products and services based on the

project outcomes (i.e. exploitation of the FI-PPP results); and,

•  the FI-PPP projects using the services provided through the

Living Labs (i.e. real-life experimentation facilities for testing

purposes; co-designing services; etc.).

ENGAGING LIVING LABS: THE PROCESS

The Stakeholder Workstream (SEWS) facilitates FI-PPP projects’ engagement with the Living Lab community through a 2-step process:

•  Supporting the analysis and selection of Living Labs (and related stakeholder ecosystems) throughout Europe (and abroad) that will prove valuable stakeholders due to their:

•  STAKEHOLDER STRUCTURE

•  INFRASTRUCTURE

•  APPLICATION DOMAIN

•  PREVIOUS FUTURE INTERNET EXPERIENCE(S)

•  Providing the necessary mechanisms and instruments (e.g. common workspaces, wikis; matching events; etc.) to interlink these selected Living Lab communities with the FI-PPP projects
