3. Urban Challenges & Economic Boards
Remco Kranendonk, November 10th 2016

4. Urban Agenda
How can we use cities and metropolitan areas
better as a vehicle for economic growth and
competitiveness?

5. Economic Boards
 Economic Boards are working on innovations systems,
cluster governance and bridging the gaps of
competitiveness
 Features:
● Triple helix
● Small organization with boundary workers
● Boards organize sharing, matching and learning
between stakeholders

6. Meaning of Economic Boards for the Urban
Challenges in the Urban Agenda
At the moment, they have a small role in the development
of the European and Dutch Urban Agenda....
But they play a key role in innovation and valorisation in
cities and metropolitan solutions...
And they contribute to the administrative power of cities
and metropolitan areas.

INTRODUCTION

10. ENGINEERING THE FUTURE CITY.
AMS Institute [eɪ - ɛm – ɛs] is a new ambitious scientific institute located in Amsterdam. In this
institute science, education, government, business partners and societal organizations are working
tightly together to create advanced solutions for the complex challenges a metropolitan region like
Amsterdam is facing. Now and in the future.

16. RESEARCH + VALORISATION – PROJECT EXAMPLES
RAINSENSE
Urban challenge: climate proofing the
city because of more extreme climate
events like extreme rainfall and smart
urban water management to protect
critical infrastructures.
Aim: research and design of novel
applications of technical sensors and
combinations of passive, opportunistic
as well active, participatory sensing to
provide high resolution, real‐time
information on rainfall, and urban
water/drainage systems.
Partners: Waternet, KPN, Alliander, IBM,
Cisco, WUR, TUD, Deltares.

17. RESEARCH + VALORISATION
URBAN PULSE 1
3
Urban challenge: Circular economy;
increased resource scarcity requires
more careful use and re-use of
resources (materials, metals, minerals,
nutrients) from city waste streams
(waste, water, energy, food).
Aim: Development of data-driven DSS
tools for identification of urban
metabolism synergies and industrial
symbiosis, by integrated mapping of
resource flows in the city (nutrients,
water, energy, waste) at high resolutions
and dynamically.
Partners: Waternet, AEB, Alliander, Port
of Amsterdam, City of Amsterdam,
WUR, TUD, MIT

18. CROWD SENSING AND CROWD MANAGEMENT AT SAIL2015
Dashboard to unravel SAIL 2015 visitor
flows and potential critical situations
based on real-time data collection and
innovative data fusion techniques

19. – Groups: Mix Academic / Public / Private
– Define the relevant current challenges for
current networks; think about needed
stakeholders and an ideal framework!
– And think together: what can you offer to a
solution? What is the advantage of our
expertise, combined?
WORKSHOP AMS INSTITUTE – TCI EINDHOVEN – NOVEMBER 2016
AMS Institute combines partners from different sectors.
Economic boards are also an example of innovation networks.
According to you, how would be the framework of
an ideal network for urban innovation?
How would you contribute to it?
