Learnings from Reimagining Smart Cities – Boosting Innocities and Scaling Startup Ecosystems panel: 💡Innovation in districts is done by concentrating on the aspects central for the district at hand and collaborating with the local partners. 💡"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together" applies to Innovation in the districts as well. Smart City Expo World Congress #SCEWC23 #scewc #scewc2023 #HelsinkiInnovationDistricts #FiksuKaupunki

Our 3-year URBAN TECH Project is coming to an end.🔥 The project supported the acceleration of competitive success of European SMEs through market launch of new or significantly improved products and services with higher value in Health Tech, Smart City and Greentech industry sectors. 🚀 In the last 3 years, the URBAN TECH programme provided an opportunity for solution providers to propose solutions to more than 300 challenges. The more than 160 companies were able to validate the solution with Challenge Owners during the Hackathons.  80 companies were selected to develop an MVP and 33 were able to do Piloting with the help of mentor and experts.  Out of the 33 selected companies, 23 continued to a Market Discovery Phase. In the end, 12 solution providers have been selected for the Final Event of the project to compete in the final Pitch Competition.

DREAM_PACE restless project partners are already engaged in the second round of the Living Lab, also in #Bologna On 30 January 2024, SRM – Reti e Mobilità Srl organized a second event with the Metropolitan city of Bologna (CMBO for short, also a DREAM_PACE Associated Partner), Municipality of Bologna, ASCOM (the association representing over 16.000 companies, entrepreneurs and professionals from Bologna and its Metropolitan city), the CCU (user advisory committee representing consumer and user associations and the annual subscribers to the Bolognese public transport service), and the Diversity Team of the Bologna Municipality (i.e. the team that deals with all dimensions of diversity). The meeting scope was threefold: (i) to present the DREAM_PACE project and the foreseen Bologna LL activities to the new stakeholders; (ii) to start the development of the desired scenario for the future #drt , with special focus on the planning and governance aspects. This includes the definition of the limits within which it is functional to develop the #drt scheme for the Bologna context; (iii) to consider the enlargement of the stakeholder group including other stakeholders, starting from the ones included in the Stakeholder Mapping exercise (e.g. considering the involvement of the mobility operators to design one or more possible DRT schemes, on which a feasibility study can then be carried out). During the meeting, the DREAM_PACE #Bologna LL stakeholders agree on adopting a collaborative approach in carrying out the LL activities, involving citizens, service providers, public authorities and other interested parties in co-design, creation and development of the DRT planning and governance aspects in the Bologna LL, which has a metropolitan scale and targets also the scalability of the solutions. Thanks to the DREAM_PACE structure, the LL benefits from the transnational debate active at the project level, where there are partners who cover a territorial role for the improvement of mobility. As regards the citizens, their future involvement on specific issues can be promoted through ad hoc surveys, after identifying geographical areas and/or specific topics for the surveys. In its role as coordinator of the LL of Bologna, SRM – Reti e Mobilità Srl will encourage grassroots participation, in case promoting public events in collaboration with the LL stakeholders for presenting the DREAM_PACE achievements and collecting feedback and proposals. Stay tuned for the third event of the Living Lab! DREAM_PACE is an Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme´s project.

In 2023, TomorrowLab spearheaded a pioneering initiative in collaboration with Gemeente Aalter, rolling out the game-changing 24/7 distribution point. This machine didn't just simplify things – it proved how tech can be efficient and adaptable in real life. Now, as Lokaal Digitaal and VLOCA step up to the plate, setting up working groups to refine the approach based on the project's success, the collaborative effort is poised to take things to the next level. Together, they're crafting a strategic and operational blueprint, blending customer-centric principles with the logistical needs of local governance. The insights gained from this effort will pave the way for clear-cut guidelines, making sure service delivery machines are put to optimal use across local administrations, fitting right into the Digitaal Vlaanderen landscape.

Thanks to HousingWire for the nomination, however, in all honesty, 2023 has been a great team effort at CubiCasa – It's easy to scale a business with unfair tech advantage and killer customer facing folks! Here’s what happened and a short outlook to 2024. Why CubiCasa is a Trendsetter in 2023? 🌍 We’ve been able to 3X our market share after launching our freemium model. Right now, 10% of real estate listings in the US are scanned with CubiCasa. The Nordics and Australia are at double-digit numbers. WILD! 📈 We’ve achieved 5X growth through our new real estate photographer program. How did we do it? By asking our customers to do what we want them to do and building an offer around that. 🤝 37 MLSs signed a partnership contract, and right now, we touch 500,000 agents in the US. We’ve intentionally reduced the contract templates to an absolute minimum – less redline means faster deal closing times! Welcome on board! Predictions for 2024: 🧠 LLM is a small subset of the future AI revolution. The expectations are inflated right now, but at the same time, we’ll see new breakthroughs in other fields of AI. What a time to be alive! 🤖 Our job as humans will be to cultivate new and unique ideas; the average will be handled by machines. 💻 Product expectations are getting higher and higher. B2B companies need to provide consumer-grade experiences to business users. If your product looks and feels like Windows XP, it’s time to rethink your strategy. 👥 Customer service will still be extremely important. If you want to be taken seriously, you must be able to help your customers when they can’t do their job. It’s also an excellent channel to build customer loyalty, offer education, and do after-sales.
