Nantes Innovation Forum

This workshop proposes to share experience on “Urban Labs” models (organisation, governance….) and practices in Europe, using concrete examples to show how experimentation accelerates innovation in cities.

Based on the examples of urban Labs presented (see below), and their own experiences and thoughts, participants will be brought into a participative process to question key challenges related to urban labs development, and how these challenges could be further discussed in a subsequent step.

Opening remarks

• Francky Trichet, Vice President in charge of innovation and digital, Nantes Metropole
• Fabienne Gautier, Head of unit, Innovation Ecosystem, Directorate General for Research and Innovation, European Commission

Examples of urban labs

• Las Naves, Valencia, “Valencia’s constellation”, with a summary of the City Council Missions VLC 2030 Strategy and examples such as the MAtchUP and FogGuru Projects
• Turin City lab
• Nantes City Lab

A final step will be dedicated to questions and discussion. The workshop will be interactive and supported with graphic facilitation.
