The European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities (EIP-SCC) Roadmap 2016 “Supporting smarter European cities: better quality of life, growth, jobs and decarbonisation” was launched at the conference 'Transport for Smart Cities 2016: scaling innovation in Europe' on 28th January.
The Roadmap identifies the key targets for this year in terms of collaboration among cities, industry and other key partners. In addition, it details the roll-out actions to be undertaken to achieve its goals. The focus is the deployment of technology and service innovation at scale in the fields of interoperable urban platforms, intelligent lampposts, positive energy blocks, smart electro-mobility solutions and smart mobility services.
It also takes into account the enabling roles of working together through collaborative actions such as new business models and financing arrangements, new strategies and tools to increase citizen focus and engagement and for integrated planning and decision-making.
The efforts of the EIP-SCC Market Place towards the implementation of the EIP Roadmap are articulated through the initiatives that are being developed within the Action Clusters. The collaborative action is open to further participation. It actively encourages building links for exchange and cooperation at international level.
