About URBAN INNO
A significantly better linkage of actors within urban innovation ecosystems (public authorities, research organizations, industry as well as end-users respectively customers and citizens) is needed for a better use of innovation potentials. Public and private sectors recognize that there is especially a significant gap in the field of participation in innovation processes from people as citizens and as users and customers. Many smart solutions, technologies and services are not used widely because of the lack of knowledge and motivation or acceptance of end-users.
URBAN INNO focuses on maximizing innovation potentials of urban ecosystems through:
- Better linking actors in innovation systems by establishing and interlinking quadruple helix clusters and networks in the partner regions; and
- Developing and implementing new participatory methods and tools to engage end-users in innovation processes with the objective to have educated and motivated users.
URBAN INNO will be implemented in small-medium sized urban ecosystems in central Europe with strong replication potential due to the big number of similar-sized cities in the EU. Quadruple-helix networks will be established and regional/urban innovation action plans developed (setup of demo centres and testbeds for industry). In parallel, new participatory methods and tools will be developed and tested in pilot projects. Participative urban environments will substantially improve their innovation performance with the established innovation environment. A transnational cooperation strategy and platform will provide all interested regions the best available participatory tools and qualified facilitators and best practice will enable transfer and exchange of urban innovation models and practices throughout central Europe.
Our project is funded by the Interreg CENTRAL EUROPE Programme that encourages cooperation on shared challenges in central Europe. With 246 million Euro of funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the programme supports institutions to work together beyond borders to improve cities and regions in Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

The EU aims to accelerate smart city solutions to meet climate and energy targets by funding demonstration projects. The European Innovation Partnership on Smart Cities and Communities will transform cities by focusing on innovation through integrated energy, transport, and ICT solutions. Horizon 2020 provides funding opportunities for large-scale lighthouse projects and activities to enhance the rollout of smart city solutions.
Walter Deffaa Mumbai World Cities Presentation 25-05-15URBACT
- Over the past 200 years, the world has rapidly urbanized, with over 50% of the population now living in urban areas, projected to rise to 70% by 2050, with most growth occurring in emerging countries.
- Cities are the main drivers of economic development and innovation but also pose challenges to sustainable development if not properly managed, as they are major sources of pollution and CO2 emissions.
- The EU Cohesion Policy supports urban development and aims to address issues facing deprived urban neighborhoods through programs like URBACT, which fosters transnational exchange and cooperation among cities.
This document provides information about a URBACT II training session on finance and the PRESAGE-CTE system. It introduces the URBACT finance team and structure of the session. It then discusses eligibility of costs, rules, requirements for record keeping, the PRESAGE-CTE financial management and monitoring system, accounting and validation of expenditure, certification of expenditure, and the role of the first level controller. The training aims to explain financial procedures and provide practical exercises for participants.
This document summarizes a training session on project management for the URBACT II program. It discusses the key actors involved in projects, including the managing authority, lead partner, and project partners. It also outlines the main contractual documents for projects, including the subsidy contract, joint convention, and audit trail.
