Technical requirements: Innovation Partnership for the experimentation of new climate services in 8 EU cities: Athens (EL), Cascais (PT), Differdange (LU), Grenoble (FR), Ioannina (EL), Maribor (SI), Sofia (BG) and Torino (IT). The challenges are clustered in two thematic hubs, one focused on the transition "from waste to circularity", the other addressing the shift "from isolated energy and mobility systems to integrated services". The socio-technical solutions envisaged should assist citizens and/or urban policy makers in taking climate friendly decisions and actions supported by specific data and information on the carbon footprint of the human activities in the selected environments. At the end of the procurement procedure, there will be two awarded solutions per city. Indicatively, the call for innovation partnerships will be published in September 2023.
Athens has focused over the recent years on climate change using the indicator of quality of urban  life as a crucial target. The need of a cultural change to understand, support, and fulfil the city’s journey for a better and healthier environment is of utmost importance. In particular, Athens aims at reducing the level of stationary energy consumption in (municipal and other) buildings targeting actions such as near zero energy buildings, smart grids etc. with a vision to expand to others as well. DAEM, as the IT Company of the City of Athens, supports the development of IT solutions and services for the city and its citizens, hence aims at supporting the CLIMABOROUGH open call solutions as partner of the project consortium.
An application (for smartphones and tablet PCs) fostering active citizenship and provoking behavioural change.  It should create a dialogue with the city and make citizens actors of environmental protection. Additional assets for the applications will be data sets creation and relevant data visualizations open for the city as well as for other entrepreneurial initiatives from citizens. Also added value will bring the aspect of gamification and locality, hence solutions that refer to specific neighborhoods of Athens.
A preliminary market consultation will be run, as a hybrid event, on 10th July 2023 at 08.30-11.30 CEST. For more information and registration please contact: https://climaborough.eu/procurement/ open-calls/athens
EMAC - Cascais Ambiente is the municipal company for environmental management on behalf of the Municipality of Cascais. Its mission is to contribute to the sustainable development of the Cascais municipality and improve the quality of life of its residents and visitors, assuming itself as a reference in the community.
To promote carbon neutrality and reach European recycling targets, Cascais must improve the recycling rate of households by promoting sustainable consumption to favour a circular economy as well as the reduction of waste in landfill. We aim to increase waste streams for recycling purposes including biowaste, textile and others with recycling potential. This is particularly useful in door-to-door collection services or waste tracking to ensure the collected waste is properly channelled to build new products.
A preliminary market consultation will be run, as a hybrid event, on 12th July 2023 at 10.30-13.30 CEST. For more information and registration please contact: https:// climaborough.eu/procurement/open-calls/cascais
Differdange has set the goal of producing locally and sustainably 100% of its need in electricity with the support of its population by 2030.
Data and IT platforms are essential to translate the relevance of our long term goal to the general public in oder for the municipality to better understand the potential of renewable energy in the city and its carbon accounting. IT platforms can enable better data visualization, comparison of future scenarios and screening of the city’s existing infrastructure that could support the development of renewable energy (e.g. available rooftop surface).
Differdange needs a socio-technical system that allows the City to better engage with available data on energy in order to increase its leverage and credibility when promoting renewable energy production to citizens and industry. Data visualisation solutions that could streamline ongoing developments and allow future simulations are envisaged. In addition, citizen engagement tools are also needed in order to create a new way of engaging the very diverse (118 nationalities) and growing population of the City.
A preliminary market consultation will be run, as a hybrid event, on 17th July 2023 at 14.30-17.30 CEST. For more information and registration please contact: https:// climaborough.eu/procurement/open-calls/differdange
Challenge: Grenoble-Alpes Métropole is composed of 49 municipalities and 450.000 inhabitants. The Metropole is carrying out an ambitious development project called GRANDALPE 25 with the City of Grenoble, Echirolles and Eybens. This project concerns an area with 30.000 inhabitants and 40.000 jobs and aims to make this district an active living space, an innovative economic hub, and a leader in new mobility. The GRANDALPE project is also intended to be a demonstrator of the ecological transition and will mobilise all the assets to build a city without fossil fuels. Within this meta-project, the Metropole is developing a new way of doing the "Fabrique de la ville'' with 3 main areas of work:
The objective is to develop temporary activities / projects with all the resources and stakeholders (companies, SSE actors, artists, and citizens) to prefigure the transformation of the territory.
- To offer an inventory of the metropolitan territory by gathering data relating to the levels of waterproofing, vegetation, heat islands, etc.
- To make this information accessible and intelligible to citizens to explain the major development choices.
