Introduction
Nowadays cities are facing several challenges related to climate change, demography, energy dependency, and social exclusion, which calls for new urban development paradigms.
points and the implementation of the intelligent mobility information system was the aim of the consortium. Now, the municipalities are considering the enlargement of the network in terms of intervention areas (not only mobility, but also energy, environment, governance, social innovation, etc.) towards a smart cities network.
In this context, concrete smart city projects are being implemented around the world, and it is expected an exponential growth in the smart city market. According to ABI Research (2011), the market for technologies that feed into and support smart city programmes and projects will grow on a global basis from $8 billion in 2010 to exceed $39 billion in 2016, accounting for $116 billion in cumulative spending during that period.
The Smart Cities Portugal platform, coordinated by INTELI results of the need to promote cooperation not only among cities but also with other players operating in the smart cities market, namely companies, clusters, universities, R&D centres and public agencies. Asserting Portugal as a place for the development and experimentation of technology solutions, products and valueadded systems for smart cities at global level is the main ambition of the partnership. It is a pioneer initiative in Europe due to the aggregation of multiple and heterogeneous entities with different interests but with a common objective: contribute to solving urban problems through knowledge and innovation.
Moreover, the implementation of smart city projects is being privileged by European policies, namely within the programming period 2014-2020. The “Smart Cities and Communities European Innovation Partnership” coordinates smart city research and innovation projects, which can be funded under Horizon 2020 and other funding programmes. Creating and enlarging the smart city market is one objective of the initiative through the implementation of lighthouse projects.
This briefing is the result of a preliminary analysis of the competencies and capabilities of national companies and R&D centres to work in the smart cities market, under the framework of the Smart Cities Portugal platform. The final document will be published in the beginning of 2014.
Due to these needs and opportunities, INTELI – Inteligência em Inovação, Centro de Inovação, a private non-profit association, has started to work with Portuguese cities in the area of urban intelligence. The pilot project was linked to the National Electric Mobility Programme, where a network of 25 municipalities was created as a living lab – RENER Living Lab, coordinated by INTELI.

Smart Cities Portugal Collaborative platform
Companies, clusters, universities, R&D centres, municipalities and other economic and social players acting in the smart cities market joined forces to create the Smart Cities Portugal collaborative platform. Asserting Portugal as a place for the development and experimentation of technology solutions, products and value-added systems for smart cities at global level is the main ambition of the initiative. Smart Cities Portugal, promoted by INTELI, intends to create synergies among different players enhancing the roll out of integrated and scalable creative solutions to solve urban problems. Smart city solutions tested in Portuguese cities could be replicated in other urban spaces around the world, improving the internationalisation potential of national companies and clusters.
It is an awareness, intelligence, advocacy and acceleration platform, which will also tackle demand side measures and contribute to the elimination of market barriers, in the areas of public procurement, standardisation, business models, financing mechanisms, stakeholders’ involvement, etc. In fact, citizen participation in urban transformation processes is a critical success factor for the implementation of smart city strategies, in a perspective of co-creation and open innovation. Living lab approaches are very useful to promote the involvement of the population in the generation of ideas for future cities.
Objectives - Promote the development of smart city pilot projects in cooperation among cities, R&D centers and companies, with a view to improving citizens’ quality of life;
- Evaluate the impact of smart city projects on wealth creation, jobs generation, environment quality and citizens’ quality of life, through the use of specific metrics and key performance indicators;
- Stimulate the scaling up of innovative urban solutions, replicating worldwide the smart city projects tested in Portuguese cities;
- Contribute to increase the local content of foreign direct investment projects linked to smart growth;
- Promote the participation of Portuguese players in lighthouse European projects in the area of smart cities; - Promote the internationalization of Portuguese companies working in the smart cities market; - Enhance the creation of new companies in the smart cities market, supporting urban entrepreneurship;

Mapping Companies and R&D Centres Facts and Figures
Mapping Companies and R&D Centres Facts and Figures
Overview This exercise intends to analyse, in a preliminary base, the competencies and capabilities of Portuguese companies and R&D centres operating in the smart cities market. It complements the evaluation of the smartness level of national municipalities through the application of a smart city index, work developed by INTELI in 2012. The smart cities cluster is not a homogeneous sector and integrates several entities with different aims and interests. It calls for a new “cooperative working environment�, being the partnerships between companies and municipalities a critical success factor for the implementation of smart city projects. It is also necessary to promote the right enabling conditions for the market to function, as well as a better understanding of its characteristics.
Sample With this objective INTELI launched a questionnaire to be answered by start-ups, companies, universities, R&D centres, and technological infrastructures. 78% of the respondents are companies, mainly SMEs (of which 74%). These entities either develop smart cities solutions or have competencies and capabilities to potentially work in the smart cities market. Governance, mobility and energy, followed by buildings are their general fields of activity. It is worth of notice that, since the smart city concept is still ambiguous, some companies develop smart cities solutions but don’t identify them as such. Moreover, some products and services produced for other markets could be easily adapted to solve urban problems.

Perceptions
Access to information on smart cities programmes and projects
The perceptions of the respondents about the Smart Cities Portugal initiative are analysed in this section. 76% of the entities consider “very important” and 24% “important” the launching of this platform. None of them referred the network as “nonimportant” or “irrelevant”. Advantages One of the aims of Smart Cities Portugal is to provide better information about the smart cities market through the development of intelligence exercises. This need is corroborated by the respondents: around 61% consider “difficult” or “very difficult” the access to information on smart cities programmes and projects. However, in the opinion of the inquired entities the identification of business opportunities and the integration in partnerships are the most relevant advantages of participating in the Smart Cities Portugal initiative.

Needs and overall priorities When they were asked about the information they would like to access through the Smart Cities Portugal portal, “partnership opportunities” and “cities profiles and needs” were the top priorities. It is interesting to note that the smart city market is not a traditional market characterised by clientsupplier relationships. It is necessary to build true partnerships between cities and companies, using innovative public procurement tools. In this process, information on cities needs is essential to enable the development of customised urban solutions.
Besides this, the inquired entities would like to use the Smart Cities portal essentially for networking and search for partners, and publishing their profile and the projects they are developing.

18
Profile & Competencies Several companies and R&D centres are creating specific departments dedicated to smart cities, which are mainly characterised by the interdisciplinarity of competencies. For example, the University of Oporto has created the Centre of Competence for Future Cities, and Siemens the “Infrastructure & Cities” sector. Among the respondents, only 31% have created organisational departments to deal with smart cities issues.
Smart Cities competencies
Competencies However, even not formalised in the institutional structure, 69% of the inquired entities have competencies in the smart cities area, being their position in the supply chain essentially situated in the “design and development” stage.
Position in the supply chain
19
Products and services The top application areas of smart cities products and services are governance, mobility and energy. However, in the case of R&D centres the scenario is slightly different with a bigger importance devoted to buildings and energy.
Systems integrators, mainly multinationals are developing smart city platforms, with the aim of providing real time information to operators and city authorities. Smart cities clients are mainly municipalities, followed by utilities.
E-government solutions, municipal portals, management systems (ERP, AIRC), and public procurement tools are the principal products and services provided in the area of governance. Mobility products and services are mainly linked to electric mobility (charging points, electric bikesharing, electric car-sharing), parking management and integrated ticketing. Intelligent lighting systems, PV panels, integration of renewable energy solutions, are some of the products offered in the area of energy.
Application areas for Smart Cities solutions
20
23% of the respondents have registered patents related to smart cities products. In terms of revenues, 10% of the total turnover of these entities results from smart cities products. However, it is still very difficult for companies to separate smart city and non-smart city projects in their accounts, due to the newness and ambiguity of the concept. Markets 24% of the respondents exports smart cities products and solutions. Their target markets are mainly located in Europe (Spain, France, Turkey, Switzerland and Ireland), Africa (Angola, Mozambique), and Latin America (Brazil). It is worth of notice that when they are asked about their future target markets, the scenario is slightly different, due to the growing opportunities identified in Latin America and also in Asia and Middle East.

City Pulse - Taking the fast lane - NOVABASE Concentrating millions of people into cities makes them energy efficient habitats. But how do we make sure all these people can move quickly? One answer is transport with exclusive lanes aimed at high frequency and volume of passengers. While traditional solutions such as underground metro have huge lead times and are expensive, alternatives like light metro, either on rail or on tires, are much simpler to implement. The key factors here are speed, simplicity and automation. Extensive information and entertainment provided to passengers along the journey greatly improve their perceived experience. Stations welcome passengers providing security, comfort and information, where tickets are purchased and validated before boarding, mainly through self-service easy-to-use and remotely assisted devices. Intermodality, i.e. the integration of various transport modes in a single trip, is paramount. For all this to work, well synchronized information systems are essential. City Pulse, developed by Novabase, is the turnkey solution to make it happen. http://www.novabase.pt/en/Do/Sectors/AerospaceTransportation/Pages/City-Pulse-Solution.aspx
