Urban areas are melting pots for new opportunities. They functionas connecting points for people wholive, work, meetand enjoy their spare time at the same place.In this way, urban areas represent the getting together of the known pastand the unknown future. People are eager to adopt new products and services which make their life, work and spare time more enjoyable and efficient. These new features will make them more resilient to future andoften unknown events. |

Smart Systems can enable these products and services. However, to apply smart system technology and to realize new solutions for citizens in urban areas cooperation between citizens, innovators, technology experts, policy makers and other stakeholders is key. |
||||||||||||||||
The CLINES project had as major objective to prepare for a joint action plan aiming at promoting economic development in the area of smart systems for smart cities. With this event the CLINES consortiumDSP Valley (BE), Aalborg University (DK), GAIA (ES), Tecnalia (ES), BICCnet (GE) aims at sharing the knowledge built through the project and hand over this experience and deliverables to the SmartCityTech partnership a follow on initiative aiming at driving the development of new applications for urban areas enabled by smart systems.

CLINES Innovation Workshop – Immerse your future enabled by wearable technology |
||||||||||||||||
On June 15th 2016, CLINES Partner DSP Valley initiates a new Fast Track to Innovation in cooperation with its Flemish and international partners from CLINES Project. This fast track innovation aims at speeding up the innovation process by adapting cross-sector and cross-discipline collaboration. The first step is to think big by defining moonshot projects which can then be transformed into concrete and realistic projects that lead through a facilitated process to conceptual ideas, prototypes of new products and/or new services ready to be launched. Achievements in which we all believe and which are invaluable to pursue if we want to realize our moonshot ideas. |
||||||||||||||||
How do we start? On June 15th we embark on this innovation journey. Experts from the business areas of mobility, health, nutrition, retail, sports and other sectors are brought together in a facilitated moonshot workshop. This workshop will deliver moonshot ideas as answers to the key question: "How can wearables enhance quality of life in urban areas?" |
||||||||||||||||
What's next? Through a sequence of inspiration sessions, workshops, hackathons and matching events we will further elaborate on the moonshot ideas, give insight into concrete projects in specific domains and develop spider-consortia which can set up projects and make those ideas happen. |
||||||||||||||||
Why do you have to join this CLINES journey? It's about your future! It's highly innovative. You will cross borders and develop invaluable partnerships with motivated, likewise thinking people. We therefore would like to cordially address this invitation to people whose belief it is that active collaboration is the key for shaping our urban future and who are eager to find an answer to a key question: "How can wearable technology enhance our quality of life?". |
