7. b) Differences between cities
§ While the basic platform could be similar,
the “use case”, actions and priorities should be adapted to your city

8. c) Indirect business models
Situation today
§ Investments from city, regional, european governments to setup smart city concepts
§ Commercial Sponsorships in return for “product testing” and visibility
§ What about the running/operational costs for large scale services?
Should cities invest in a Smart City platform just like they used to invest in new
road infrastructure (metro lines, …)? And bear all the costs?
Cost drivers: internet connectivity, data, services, reach-out
§ Indirect Business models should leverage:
§ Low-cost city-wide Connectivity
§ Free data, cheap convenience apps
§ Free data, advertisements inside apps
§ Free data, city-sponsored apps
