Smart CiTies through smart Clustering striving for Excellence

ended

"Smart CiTies through smart Clustering striving for Excellence, aims to explore a relationship model between clusters related to aspects of the Smart City paradigm and to establish the bases of a collaborative network that includes some of the most relevant ecosystems of the Smart City model: Mobility, Energy, Environment and ICT. A network to promote long-term, cross-sectoral, cross-geographic initiatives capable of generating a clear impact in the different involved territories through the collaboration of their productive fabric and the transmission of knowledge and generation of new value chains. It is a challenge with a necessary precondition: the search for excellence in the management of the clusters involved and a process of mutual knowledge, the sharing of best practices and the establishment of a trusting environment that accompanies these actions and a joint strategy. Therefore, the following specific objectives are proposed:(i) Establishment of an environment of trust and mutual knowledge among the clusters involved; (ii) Identification of best practices in relation to: management of the organizations involved, value proposal delivery to the respective members and sharing of the know-how associated with reference themes (mobility, energy, environment, ICT, etc), (iii) Identification and definition of a common strategy around the theme of Smart Cities capable of generating a framework of long-term relationship between the clusters involved and laying the foundations of future member (clusters) incorporations (iv) Definition and execution of a Plan of Actions aiming at implementing activities and identifying methodologies (v) Support in the implementation of a new ""ClusterXchange"" pilot scheme "
