European Funding Opportunities for Research and Development of Smart Cities Projects Shanghai, 14 May 2010 ITU –Workshop “ICTs: Building the green city of the future “ Mercè Griera i Fisa, INFSO H4, ICT for Sustainable Growth European Commission

Outline ● To devise and implement European policy on the use of ICT in achieving better energy efficiency ● To support RTD on ICT systems for energy efficiency in particular Smart Grids ● To raise awareness and deploy solutions for energy efficiency in public buildings in particular social housing

Policy (1) Three 20% targets for 2020 December 2008: Council and Parliament adopted the Climate and Energy Package that reinforces Europe’s commitment to: ● A reduction in EU greenhouse gas emissions of at least 20% below 1990 levels ● 20% of EU energy consumption to come from renewable resources ● A 20% reduction in primary energy use compared with projected levels, to be achieved by improving energy efficiency.

Policy (2) November European response to the financial and economic crisis: The Recovery Plan “Investing today for tomorrow’s Europe” On research it launches three Public-Private Partnerships: ● Energy-efficient buildings €1 bn ● Factories of the future € 1.2 bn ● Green Cars € 5 bn On infrastructure: ● Modifies the rules governing the cohesion funds (€ 347 bn for ) to allow support to energy-efficiency in all Member States ● Launches trans-European energy interconnections and broadband infrastructure projects (5b€ for2009 – 2010)

Policy (3) March 2009: Communication on “Mobilising Information and Communication Technologies to facilitate the transition to an energy-efficient, low-carbon economy”. Major points: ● The issue of quantification and measurability ● The enabling role: ICT can reduce energy consumption of buildings in the EU by up to 17% and reduce carbon emissions in transport logistics by up to 27% ● Smart Metering and Smart Grids ● Reducing carbon footprints of ICTs

THE COMPETITIVENESS & INNOVATION FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME Information Communication Technologies Policy support Programme (ICT PSP) Better access to finance for SMEs through venture capital investment & loan guarantee instruments Europe Enterprise Network Support for eco-innovation Fostering energy efficiency & the rational use of energy sources Promoting new & renewable energy sources & energy diversification Promoting EE & new energy sources in transport ~2,170 M€ ~730 M€

ICT Policy Support Programme under DG Information Society and Media ICT PSP aims specifically at: Stimulating the wider deployment and best use of innovative ICT-based solutions Facilitating the coordination and implementation of actions for developing the information society across the Member States Focus is on areas of public interest: Where ICT-based solutions can bring substantial improvements to quality and efficiency of services To open up and facilitate the development of EU-wide markets for innovative ICT
