Wat?
The recently released Commission communication on investing in the development of low carbon technologies (Strategic Energy Technology Plan - SET) referred amongst others to the smart cities initiative, put in place to support not only cities but also regions in taking ambitious steps to a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020.
The word ‘smart' has become a trendy buzz-word. But what does it really mean? What is a smart region? How can a region become ‘smart'? What makes one region smarter than another one? The Commission communication refers to systemic approaches and organisational innovation, encompassing energy efficiency, low carbon technologies and the smart management of supply and demand, but how can a region develop and measure these actions and how can they be transferred across the EU?
This event will address these issues in an interactive way and will include a panel discussion of regional practitioners, Commission officials and energy experts. It will help regional innovation stakeholders and actors to develop better understanding of the concept of ‘smart region' and interregional relationships, allow the sharing of best practice and benchmarking, and will encourage a wider take up of ‘smart' policies, practices and technologies.
