From 5-6 June, 2019, representatives from IPR Prague joined the replication workshop “Learning from the most innovative” taking place in the exhibition centre in Brno, Follower City of the Horizon 2020 Smart Cities and Communities project RUGGISED, which organised the workshop.

The workshop consisted of several round table sessions where the Lighthouse- and Follower Cities presented some of their smart solutions and discussed them with the audience afterwards. The round table sessions focused e.g. on technical or governance aspects as well as business models, public procurement, citizen engagement and data usage. The Prague representatives learned about tenant involvement through gamification and met with Sonja Stöffler from University of Stuttgart, another Triangulum representative who joined the meeting as an expert on replication processes.

In addition to the replication workshop, Prague’s team visited the URBIS Smart City Fair and exhibition, to learn from and get inspired by the experiences of other (especially Czech) cities and companies during the creation and implementation of smart solutions.
