How we help Cities get smart:• Agree on a broad-based strategy, prioritization and coordination with regard to
standardization in terms of approach, processes and technology
• Develop & share good practices to support Cities on solving common issues
• Upswing of bottom-up innovations by creating standards to
- Increase confi dence for investments
- Allow replication & upscaling
- Create interoperable & cross-sector
holistic solutions
• Use NEN’s multi-stakeholders committees network in
Mobility – Building – Infra – Energy – Care – Environment – Social
• Enrich & accelerate City projects by informing & participation in on-going
standardization projects worldwide
For determination of strategies and priorities for standards development regarding
Smart Cities the NL Strategic Advisory Group Smart Cities has been founded by
NEN in cooperation with over 16 partners.

Governmental organizations, Universities, Consultancy and national City networks

NL Strategic Advisory Group Smart Cities
The steady growth of Worlds population, together with growing
urbanization and the necessity of implementing sustainability,
makes that (large) cities have to get prepared for the future
in a smart way. For this, integral approaches solving societal
challenges combined with technological solutions, are crucial.
Cooperation and communication between cities and citizens
is evident.
How can cities connect with industry and knowledge centers in
order to be able to make the right decisions and share relevant
best practices? How can market introduction and market
acceptance be realized? How can scaling up of innovations
within cities, regions and (inter)national be managed? Many
cities, together with their partners, are trying to get grip on
(trans sectoral) accommodation in order to get their city smart.
This asks for support of widely accepted standards and guidance
that creates trust for investments and further innovation.
The Dutch Strategic Advisory Group on Smart Cities (NLSAG-SC)
is a national cooperation of about 16 key stakeholders that fi lls
in above described challenges in close cooperation with (inter)
national networks.
