Triangulum

Mission Statements and Goals:

1. We demonstrated real smart city solutions and facilitated and replicated them in our Follower Cities.

2. We looked beyond subsidies and demonstrated functioning business models and social value models for smart cities.

3. In order to minimise risks for future smart city investments, we demonstrated and tested our approaches making them measurable, traceable and thus “bankable”.

4. We co-created smart cities with our citizens. We involved users in the process of development and improvement of smart city solutions, connecting civil society to ensure that our solutions were demand-driven and contribute towards real life improvement of our cities.

5. We transferred knowledge about smart city implementation. Our approach to delivering smart city technologies and services was based on mutual learning and innovative forms of collaboration between city administrations, private sector corporations, civil society and research institutions.

6. We sought to activate and enable entrepreneurs, SMEs and young talents by creating an attractive eco-system and by co-creating smart districts and associated solutions.

7. We developed and implemented a smart city reference model. By defining a reference architecture for IT-based smart city services and technologies, we enabled future replication and standardised approaches of crosscutting solutions for urban energy, buildings and mobility technologies.

8. Sustainable transformation of existing buildings and demonstration of solutions for a shifting energy demand market was our core proposition for demonstrating data-driven value creation in cities.

9. We built upon the strong replication potential of our follower cities. The Triangulum consortium consisted of six cities and one observer city that are all equally important – Lighthouse, Follower and Observer Cities contribute with their individual strengths to develop and deliver successful smart city solutions.

10. We contributed to and strengthen the European Smart Cities movement. By establishing a strong network including citizens, key stakeholders and enablers such as the European Innovation Partnership and the European Commission, we sought to develop, promote and strengthen European smart city projects and leadership.
