6. Neural networks
Interactions between neurons and neuronal aggregations are most
accurately described as networks (a combination of hierarchies and
parallel processors) (Greenfield, 1995)
Specialized ”silos” offer certain local benefits – but for global
value generation we need the connections
7. Open data infrastructure
Empower, encourage and motivate. Building infrastructure is a
long term investment representing a big societal change. What
do we want to accomplish?
Supply side: remove legal, technical, semantic and
organizational barriers to interoperability and re-use
Demand side, consider access to technology and knowledge
10. Innovation
• WHO (2013) estimates that the proportion of people living in urban areas
will be 70% by the year 2050
• In 2012, estimated cost of traffic was around $820 pr. commuter in the U.S.
Inrix´s vision:
"solve traffic worldwide"
• Connect crowdsourced data from GPS devices and smartphones to open
government data like maps, traffic, construction
• Build products and services to sell on markets Help commuters
and urban planners
12. • Pollution and global warming are one of the biggest challenges of the 21st
century
Opower´s vision:
“Enable anyone, anywhere to save
energy"
Collective impact
• Connect data from smart meters to open government data on energy
consumption, weather, demographics, property, location
• Disseminate information Empower people to change behavior
