1. Bringing together the Elements of Future
Internet and Living Labs in City Context
– the FIREBALL-project!
Michael Nilsson, CDT
Project Coordinator
@ Connected Smart Cities, Helsinki 2010-11-18
” Future Internet Research and Experimentation By Adopting Living Labs – towards Smart Cities ”

2. A definition of Smart City
“We believe a city to be smart when
investments in human and social
capital and traditional (transport) and
modern (ICT) communications
infrastructure fuel sustainable
economic growth and a high quality
of life, with a wise management of
natural resources, through
participatory governance”
A. Caragliu, C. del Bo, P. Nijkamp
(2009)

3. Mission.
FIREBALL brings together
different players to exploit
the linkage between Smart
Cities, Living Labs and
Future Internet for
Connected Smart Cities
Innovation.

4. What can Smart Cities be about (1)?
• Usage of digital spaces and ICT to enhance the
city and the city life
• Digital dimensions of cities – the new
intelligence of cities
• Internet as medium for organizing collective
intelligence of cities

5. What can Smart Cities be about (2)?
• The city as an innovation space for Future
Internet research and development
• Digital agendas for future city innovation
strategies
• Smart people and Smart technology
– making cities become Smarter together!

6. Key drivers from Smart Cities of
Future Internet Open Innovation (1).
• Socio-economic ambitions of large cities / city marketing
• Need for connectedness (cities – rural areas – regions)
• Broadband deployment experiences, need for applications
pull after the infrastructure
• Technology push. Need to create experimentation
environments to stimulate innovation

7. Key drivers from Smart Cities of
Future Internet Open Innovation (2).
• Driving network development
• Impact of Internet infrastructure on business
attractiveness of cities
• Need to create open innovation environments to attract
business and knowledge centres

8. Main target groups of FIREBALL CA.
• Cities developing Smart/Intelligent city strategies
• Large companies developing platforms and applications
for Smart Cities
• Researchers and experts performing research on
the subject
• The Living Lab community

Internet opportunities

17. Topics adressed 3(3)
Creation of a Connected
Smart Cities Innovation
Network of advanced Smart
Cities in Europe – exploring
challenges how open
innovation can support the
uptake of Future Internet-
enabled services in Smart
Cities

18. Advanced Smart Cities in Europé
–FIREBALL examples
The Helsinki Open Future Internet
innovation ecosystem
The Smart city vision of Manchester
Smart Energy of Amsterdam
A business eco-system of Smart
Grids of Lisboa
Digital spaces and ICT to enhance
the city life of Barcelona

19. Smart Cities and FIRE
Smart Cities represent
demanding users, innovation
drivers and testbeds for the
emerging technologies and
experimentation with
multiple devices and
systems – involving the
citizens of the cities!

20. Smart Cities and Living Labs
The Living Lab participatory
processes combine both the
strengths of collective intelligence
and innovation capacity of people
and the mediating role of ICTs in
organising global value chains of
suppliers and customers.
– Living Labs are Open Innovation
Ecosystems of Smart Cities.
