• “The concept of shared value can be defined as
  policies and operating practices that enhance the
  competitiveness of a company while
  simultaneously advancing the economic and social
  conditions in the communities in which it operates”
   – businesses approaching societal issues from a value
     perspective
   – governements and NGOs thinking more in value

  2. Espoo is the second largest city in Finland and part of the HelsinkiMetropolitan Area, yet accounts for 50% of the Research and Developmentvalue for all of Finland. Furthermore, Espoo companies are responsible foraround 50% of the turnover in the Helsinki Stock Exchange
  3. •The area around Espoo is a thrivingregion that covers Stockholm, St. Petersburgand Tallinn.•Its direct neighbours are the Finnishcapital Helsinki and the Airport cityof Vantaa..
  4. in The Global Competitiveness Report 2012-2013 Finland is in third position. Moreover, Finland had earned the Eurozone’s best credit ratings (AAA))
  5. “Innovations that lead to creating sustainable and green cities”“Espoo's transformation process; how the city is implementing its innovation strategy; “TheTriple Helix model -- the connections between academy, industry and government -- and their role in driving innovation”
  6. Democratizing innovation (Von Hippel) at Open Smart Spaces for Joint Value Co-creation (Porter 2011)A Living LabLiving Labs quadify different stakeholders in cooperation, bringing together Enablers, Utilizers, Developers and Users. These co-creators include the public sector, business and science parks, incubators, universities, companies and, of course, the end-user communities, both non-professional and professional.In order to make the innovation to flourish, Public-Private-People partnership, multilevel governance and cross-sector co-operation is needed. Public pre-procurement, legislative changes, and financial support will help, however it is the individuals who are the sine qua non of any transformation. People centred innovation - It means that public policy can link people to opportunities, infrastructures, competencies and incentives. Then, through the flow of feedback among the different stakeholders and functions the ecosystem will get a change to continuously renew itself. As a consequence, major societal innovation may take place and new industries may emerge. This type of comprehensive approach is not easy, but it may be the best way to tackle the aging as a Grand Challenge or to perceive it as a “Major Opportunity”. That is what ENoLL is for, and the new PPPP initiative, driven by ENoLL is aiming at. - Give the “Butterfly Effect” a chance to change the world!City/regional innovation systems through planning, financing and infrastructure development, and by coordinating, facilitating and incentivizing interactions between innovators towards realizing ‘grand challenges’The Role of Universities in This:Scientific Excellence  More innovations out of researchMore focus on Grand Societal ChallengesThe strong role of universities is crucial: Knowledge Triangle i.e. synergy between research & education & innovationModernizing the Triple Helix cooperation: University – Industry – CitiesLiving labs & user-driven innovations: people & process development

  10. WBthemes and questions that will help understand synergies and tradeoffs between urbanization and economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. 8.1. Economic Structure How to effectively confront the opportunities and threats of the systems of cities, and maximize cities ‟ comparative advantages in a positive sum game that contributes to local and national objectives of job creation, innovation and entrepreneurship; 8.2. Social Structure How to effectively address the social dimensions of cities in the face of uncertainty, and reduce persistent inefficiency, and social exclusion associated with demography, migration, social mobility, among others; 8.3. Physical Structure How to maximize national and local benefits of urbanization and mitigate its negative impacts in the context of a city‟s physical structure, considering elements such as urban planning (form, density, optimum size, etc.), transportation systems, energy and resource efficiency, among others. Two cross-cutting clusters: 8.4. Governance How to define the most effective and efficient allocation of functional responsibilities and partnerships among various levels of government and stakeholders in different political economies; how can metropolitan management be made more effective for sustainable urban development in the face of uncertainty; 8.5. Sustainability How to enable environmental sustainability, and effectively plan, develop and manage livable, productive and inclusive cities in the face of climate change and other unexpected challenges; and what are the key urban policies and lessons from cities that could help inform rapidly urbanizing cities in developing countries to achieve sustainability
  11. The City of Espoo is highly active in engaging in major programs and investments that will see further enhancement to an already sound infrastructure. This includes extension of the Metro Network to Espoo by 2015 from Helsinki. The area of Tapiola, Keilaniemi and Otaniemi constitutes the T3Innovation Triangle, in which science, culture and business create new synergiesand increases the level of innovative initiatives within the City. Within ten years5 billion € will be invested in the T3 area. Cooper ation with universities,companies and residents is the central element in our approach: Contributingtogether.Loans per capita are significantly below the national average. The equity ratio is86.5%.
  12. EU Committee of the Regions 2010: BIM to Regional and Urban Planning“CoR points out that management of the built environment and urban planning are sectors with a high impact on the local economy as well as on the quality of the living environment.” “New developments in information management can play a crucial role in achieving the goal of establishing an ambitious new climate regime.Building Information Modelling (BIM) is actively used in facility management to provide a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility.”“The concepts of BIM should be extended to regional and urban planning. It could then serve as a shared knowledge resource for an area, forming a reliable basis for life-cycle analysis, user-driven business process development and value-creating decision-making.”
