A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was launched in May ’15 in Berlin under the presence of Günther Oettinger, Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, and is now attracting further Industry executive signatories. The signatories to this MoU have agreed to take a city and community needs led approach to address the fragmented market. The ambition of the signatories to this MoU is to enrol cities, infrastructure and service companies, telecommunications and utilities to cooperate with the partners of this MoU and create a strong EU city market for Urban Platforms. 

We are seeking to maximise Industry support, so if your organisation is interested to join us, please fill in our signatory form and contact the European Commission cnect-mou-urbanplatforms@ec.europa.eu or the EIP-SCC Secretariat on integratedinfrastructures@eu-smartcities.eu

The purpose of this document is to provide a common core set of city-needs-led requirements, co-developed and validated by EU cities, to support the acquisition of “Urban Platforms” by EU cities. The ambition is that adoption of these requirements by EU cities will lead to reduced pre-procurement times, increased confidence in platform designs, greater levels of collaboration (particularly amongst smaller cities), innovation in business models, more affordable solutions, and a more secure basis for industry to apply its innovations.  

This is NOT a complete version of the document since it is available to members of the initiative. Contact us in case you would like to get involved: integratedinfrastructures@eu-smartcities.eu

The Management Framework is designed for cities, by cities. An open, city-needs-led framework and toolkit to help cities deliver common solutions for shared challenges; support demand aggregation, and scale adoption of urban platforms in European cities to help service owners collectively agree how best to move forward. The audience for this document is principally City Officials such as Smart City lead, Chief Innovation/Information/Digital/Technology Officers, Heads of Services, and senior cross-cutting roles (Policy, Finance, Commissioning, etc).
