Open Innovation in Cities 7 mechanisms x 1 enabler x 2 objectives
Increasing number diversity of services { }
Decreasing budgets
Re-invent cities (Smart Cities) . . .
Problem.-
Opportunity.-
Despite access to the same technologies applied by
these (private) innovators, our government had
historically failed to tap into the expertise of the
American people to help to solve our nation’s biggest
challenges.

EXPERIMENTATION – URBAN LABS Learn locally to compete globally
Urban Labs = Test spaces in the middle of the city
Urban Labs = The City as a Urban Laboratory
Urban Labs = Urban Living labs
Urban Labs = Real-life experimentation with users in Cities
Example: Urbiotica pilot - Barcelona
8 containers for: Trash Paper Glass Plastics
Urban Labs – Living Labs

FASTPRK - Parking Sensors (30) - Worldsensing
When we thought that the system was operative we tested it in the 22@Urban Lab. Testing in real-life environments allowed us to improve aspects that we couldn't even think of in the lab. The Urban Lab has been our best laboratory.
Jordi Llosa- Development officer Worldsensing
SIIUR - LED Lighting Pilot (12) - Arelsa, Circuitor, Santa&Cole, e-Control, Prysmian, Semal
The SIIUR experience allowed us the development of the SmartTower, a new family of electrical boxes for Smart Cities.
Anna Urbiztondo - Project Development Director - SECE
SIIUR - LED Lighting Pilot (12) - Arelsa, Circuitor, Santa&Cole, e-Control, Prysmian, Semal
Because of the pilot and the experience acquired in the Urban Lab, Eindhoven chose SIIUR for environmentally sustainable city lighting in one of the main districts of the city.

Urban Labs
1.- To develop innovative products taking advantage of real-life environments and involving citizens in design, proof of service and proof of business validation.
2.- Bridge the cognitive distances between city
administrations and innovative companies. 3.- Create an initial demand & provide a
showcase for innovative solutions.
