Smart and Sustainable Cities
Growing proportion (currently 72%) of the EU population lives in cities
Cities challenges -> air quality, heat island effects, flood risks, increased criminality and marginalisation, derelict industrial sites…
Quality of life in cities (including health and social inclusion) and attractiveness (for learning, innovating, doing business, finding jobs), are key parameters in the global competition for talents, growth & investments
Need to increase overall energy and resource efficiency of cities
(Smart Cities and Communities Lighthouse Projects)

Ensure exploitation of results by Beneficiaries or by others
• Use results in further research activities
• Contribute to new/on-going standardisation activities
• Develop and create new services/products for commercial exploitation
Establish roles and Intellectual
Property rights of Partners in the
Consortium Agreement
Beneficiaries must disseminate results asap
• Scientific and non-scientific publications Peer-reviewed journal articles should be
Open Access = on-line access to scientific information that is free-of-charge for the

What you need to remember
For-profit SMEs onlySMS self-assessment (attention: ownership structure)http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/manual/urf_sme_wizard_guidance.pdf
Also for start-ups (ca. 1/3 have less than 3 years of trade)
Also for very small (ca. 1/3 funded companies have up to 5 employees)
It is all about BUSINESS & impactWho are your (potential) clients? Competitor?Why will you clients they want to pay?How will the service/product change the market?Do you have “freedom to operate” (IPR)?
www.ncpbrussels.be ©2015 impulse.brussels 47
In practice – what to avoid
According to EASME, unsuccessful proposals were:
Too strongly project-oriented, not enough information on the actual market opportunities and commercialization strategy
Company profile missing: has the company all the necessary skills to implement the market opportunity?
Market situation, competitive solutions not mentioned
Not really new to the market, not disruptive (no “game changer")
Commercialisation concept missing; TRL to low

Our experience in Brussels
www.ncpbrussels.be ©2015 impulse.brussels 51
Many applicants, few funded projectsSmall region (10 million inhabitants, size smaller than Moldova, urban, mostly services, 97% SMEs)
NCP offers systematic review of draft & “pitching session”With business experts & sectorial experts
Phase 1 before phase 2 is often recommended
Re-submitting is OK if proposal is significantly improved
Also look at other topicsEx ICT applied to environment, innovative business models
Also consider “traditional sectors”
