Watch the recording of the SCIS webinar "Regulatory, financial and social barriers & solutions for innovation"

On 17 May 2017, SCIS organised a webinar on "Regulatory, financial and social barriers and solutions for innovation", which presented the SCIS framework for addressing non-technical issues in the fields of Energy, Mobility & Transport and ICT in the context of smart cities. It showcased examples of main financial and economic barriers encountered by smart cities projects; regulatory and administrative barriers, and measures needed to promote social acceptance and uptake of technologies and solutions. The EU-funded projects REMOURBAN and CITY-ZEN contributed by sharing their own experiences with non-technical challenges they have encountered and provided recommendations to smart city stakeholders.

The speakers were Jorge Nuñez-Ferrer from the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), Miguel Á. García-Fuentes from the CARTIF Technology Centre, and Craig Martin from Delft University of Technology. You can read more about the main aspects addressed by the webinar and the speakers here.
