City Representatives meet Investors
- Are you looking to make investments in the area of mobility, ICT or energy?
- Is your city ready to redevelop certain areas?
- Does your business offer a smart city product or service?
- Are you a Fellow City looking for funding?
Taking place in Brussels on 20 February (CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL, Rue Gineste 3), our matchmaking event – promoted by the European Commission under the EIP-SCC Marketplace initiative – brings together city/regional representatives and businesses, with investors. It focuses on exploring and shaping opportunities for people involved in Smart City projects.
This is the first event of a series of EIP-SCC matchmaking activities. It offers a unique opportunity for the people in charge of policy-making, representing cities / regions or offering advice to cities to learn from best practices, to present projects and to find investors. We offer you a forum for discussions, assist in the development of innovative urban ideas and bring together urban innovators, developers as well as investors and private equity.

This event fosters much needed collaboration between city/regional representatives, policy makers as well as business representatives and investors. This is a unique occasion to network and explore investment opportunities with key smart cities decision-makers such as local authorities, research institutions as well as leading smart cities and infrastructure investors.
What can you expect?
You can learn about existing smart city best practices in the areas of mobility, ICT and energy in our Explore Zone. Experts will assist you in shaping the concept of your planned smart city project or planned investments in a round-table format during our Shape discussions. Finally, you can engage in 1:1 meetings between solution providers and the investment community during our focussed Deal matchmaking sessions on Smart Cities and Communities (pre-registration required).

7:00 PMCentre for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning in Prague (Vyšehradská 51, Praha 2)
A city is not just concrete, steel and greenery. Its development and quality of life are influenced by an endless series of so-called soft factors such as the culture of work, relationships between people in the workplace and many others. In the Panel Discussion that takes place as part of the accompanying program to the ongoing Urbania exhibition, we will look at our approach and thinking in this context.
The opening speech will be given by James Evans by the University of Manchester (Triangulum), focusing on social geography and quantification of the soft factors of urban development.
The Panelists will be social psychologist Tomáš Vácha from the Czech Technical University, lecturer Ivona Kolínská from Mission Hero and Trinidad Fernandez from Fraunhofer IAO, project coordinator of Triangulum and deputy coordinator of the Morgenstadt Global Smart Cities Initiative.
Date: 22.01.2020 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm
Location: Centre for Architecture and Metropolitan Planning in Prague (Vyšehradská 51, Praha 2)
Language: English – a translation service won’t be provided

NEW DATE: Tue, 21 January 2020 09:00 – 13:00 GMT
Manchester has set ambitious Zero Carbon 2038 objectives and recently announced a Climate Emergency. Funded from the EC Horizon 2020 programme, over the past five years the Triangulum project has developed, deployed and tested a suite of projects focused on low energy districts, integrated infrastructures and sustainable urban mobility in Manchester to help the city achieve its low carbon goals.
Manchester City Council, Siemens, University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and SME partner Pixel Mill Digital have worked together to target a series of impacts: reduced energy consumption of buildings, increased use of renewable energies, increased use of electric vehicles, deployment of intelligent energy management technologies and an ICT data hub. Here’s a snapshot:
- Photovoltaic panels and an electrical energy storage solution managed by a microgrid controller at MMU, using energy from the grid when costs are low or from the battery when high.
- An innovative central controller that works alongside the microgrid controller to form a virtual power plant, sharing power across the Oxford Road Corridor between buildings from Manchester City Council and the University of Manchester.
- A new Building Energy Management System (BEMS) has been installed in the city art gallery. The BEMS manages equipment supporting the internal environmental parameters for the exhibition spaces at the gallery.
- A data hub, Manchester-i, collects data from across the city and the Oxford Road Corridor and makes it openly available. This forms an integral part of the new Manchester Urban Observatory, a new £1m facility using IoT sensors to collect data and test urban infrastructure systems in real-world settings.
- Shared electric vehicles for staff at Manchester Metropolitan University
