Living Labs Global joins forces
with Copenhagen, Barcelona and Kaohsiung to meet the challenges in
Mobility, Environment and Well-being in our cities.
From around the world Cities, Companies and Experts will engage in
a day of networking to use innovations to turn challenges into
opportunities. Pilots in the City
of Copenhagen, together with a Showcase of latest innovations
from around the world will provide the setting, in which
Cities will declare their challenges and intentions;
Companies will pitch their solutions;
Experts provide insights to trigger discussion;
Visioning Workshops deliver future solutions.
Three areas of services in cities will be prioritised at this
Summit, allowing cities and companies to build partnerships, share
experiences, build a common understanding of future trends and the
growing demand for innovative business models.
1. Mobility in Cities
Mobility is no longer just a matter of the means of transport,
but a condition in which citizens and visitors expect to receive
services and information. The cities of Copenhagen, Barcelona and
Kaohsiung continue to invest as pioneers in integrating bicycles into
the urban mobility systems, using them not only as a means to get from
A-B, but as a driver for sustainability, to promote new integrated
planning concepts, accessibility and meet the changing lifestyle
expectations of citizens. New products and solutions will be presented
in this theme, as well as new planning concepts, business
opportunities and service models from Europe, Asia and the US.
2. Environment & Energy in Cities
Sustainability has become the catch-phrase for many initiatives
in cities covering areas such as generation of renewable energy,
targets for becoming zero-emission communities (e.g. Copenhagen 2025),
new ways of metering usage, protecting water resources and improving
the quality of the environment. The Summit will represent different
types of demand: New cities in the making are searching for integrated
energy and environmental concepts, whilst existing cities seek to
upgrade their existing services and infrastructures to an age of
sustainability. Solution providers will showcase their new
technologies, business models. services and visions for our future communities.
3. Wellbeing & Prevention of Disease in Cities
Whilst much focus is brought to the research in biotechnology to
fight chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity or cardiovascular
problems, cities have emerged as important partners to prevent the
occurrence of such diseases in the first place. What role does dietary
and mobility (e.g. more walking, more biking) habits play in
preventing diseases that can cost billions to treat? Who are the
companies investing in new products and services that can
significantly impact the prevention and wellbeing of our societies?
Cities will share their needs and visions and call for experts from
research and business to partner in a drive to use the latest
technologies and methods to assure the wellbeing of our citizens.
