Partners
In this project, LightHouse supported the cooperation in the region two-folded. Firstly, together with the stakeholders in the region and beyond, we co-created a strategic plan and setup for an Urban Development Institute to enable the region to remain among the world's top 'smartest regions'. Secondly, TU/e aims to provide a major contribution with technology and knowledge, through a TU/e Smart City Research Programme that combines all the relevant research activities throughout TU/e. |
Urban Development Institute
To address the challenges effectively and create a strong position to grasp opportunities, the city of Eindhoven, TU/e and city of Helmond initiate the Urban Development Institute (UDI)*. The UDI brings together existing partners and partnerships to form structural collaborations with a view to assemble the required knowledge, expertise and resources and professionalise the innovation processes and infrastructure to achieve a future proof urban development. The UDI will strengthen the implementation power and improve the access to funding schemes to accelerate realisation by building on the strategic potential of projects and competencies. The UDI will be a catalyst on local and regional scale, with impact on European and global level through a worldwide network with leading innovation ecosystems. LightHouse is currently member of the strategic advisory team of UDI. |
TU/e Smart Cities Programme
The Smart Cities Programme brings together the strengths and potential of TU/e expertise across faculties, into an underlying, multidisciplinary research programme that generates the required knowledge to face the challenges of contemporary cities. Then we can create solutions that make a real impact on the lives of large numbers of people. SCP/e focusses on 6 research lines: Three application areas are identified where cities face serious challenges in the transition of becoming a smart city. Disruptive technologies that come available will fundamentally change the way we live, work, move or recreate in cities. The coming years city life will be reshaped in the areas of:
LightHouse is currently connected to the SCP/e as strategic adviser for future. |
