Let's make Helsinki the most functional Smart City in the World

Forum Virium aims to build Helsinki into the mostfunctional smart city in the world in collaboration withcompanies, the scientific community and residents.

Re-designing the Role of the City

City

Enabler

Connector

Ecosystem builder

Ecosystem promoter

Service provider

Funder

R&D&Icommunity

State Companies

Maker communities

Start ups

Citizens

Think Tanks

From narrow innovation policies to comprehensive and open innovation policies

Fostering the developer ecosystem

Around 200 open data use cases we are aware of

Why open data?• Transparency and democracy

• Government efficiency• Business and innovation

One city is not a market

Harmonized Smart City APIs

National collaboration under Six city strategy 6Aika

More APIs, more cities

Cities, get started with it!•API specs in Githubunder organization 6Aika

•Open source reference implementations

•Guidelines

So where’s the IoT?

We could choose routes based on their

air quality?

People with baby pram could discover vacant pram spots in trams?

We could be aware of the state of our

environment in real-time?

Spaces would adapt heating and AC

according to their usage?

What if

IoT can help us solve many challenges in Smart Cities

Precommercialprocurement as a tool for shaping thelandscape together

SELECT for Cities competition aims to harness data in a city-wide platform for Smart City innovation

Platform R&D generated through Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)

Launched call for tenders

28 entries received

10 consortia chosen to enter Phase 1 and refine their platform concept

6 of the 10 asked to submit a proposal to enter Phase 2.

Results to date…

5 consortia building a prototype platform (with 5 iterations of testing)

What next?

Smart City – more dataSpaces and locks

Open energy and air quality data

Electric vehicles, charging stations and smart mobility

Crowdsourcing data on people flows

Smart homes – more data

Dataa Kalasataman asukkaiden sähkön- ja vedenkäytöstä sekä jätteiden kierrätyksestä (lähde: http://bit.ly/2buPUnP – CC BY 2.0)

How to put this valuablepersonal data to work?

MyData approach

All is well?

We need to combine forces to • Improve discoverability• Clarify ToS, SLA, Licensing• Foster standards: select, use, further develop• Create transparent and feasible management models for specs and code

• Share best practices• Encourage re-use of code• Algorithms and API-bots• Make mydata happen

Let’s spread the API love to cities together. <3Thank you!
