Photonics and Micro/Nanoelectronics have been identified among the ICT Key
Enabling Technologies as crucial for the development of novel services and innovative
solutions benefitting society and the restructuring of industrial processes needed to
modernise EU industry. Their development will support growth and the creation of new
jobs, while helping in facing the impelling Societal Challenges: better healthcare,
independent living for the elderly, delivering effective public services, energy saving,
smart transport, secure internet, inclusion, preservation of cultural heritage, and
combining sustainability with the realisation of Smart Cities and Smart Communities.

Europe has a worldwide recognised excellence in research in both fields, which is not
however always matched by the industrial competitiveness. European future
competitiveness relies on the capability to innovate and to bring disruptive approaches
to the market. This requires a strong effort by all involved actors, synergic public and
private investments supporting the realization of advanced infrastructures and adequate
opportunities for young talents. A better understanding of the prospects created by ICT
KETs can be achieved by sharing experience made by European research centres,
public authorities and private actors, together with opportunities offered by European,
national and regional/local incentive and support schemes, including the EU Smart
Cities Initiative and Horizon 2020.

Zooming in for the specific case of LED lighting, the focus of day 2 is on accelerating
its large-scale deployment and is intended to be a first step towards creating a
European action plan on this matter.
LED lighting technology has become mature. The switch to LED lighting will make our
cities 'greener' and help to reduce operating and maintenance costs compared to
existing infrastructures. In addition, LED lighting offers higher quality light and enhanced
visual performance and thus contributes to improving the ambience and safety of urban
environments. Procuring and deploying innovative lighting at municipal level will also
boost local innovation, growth and jobs.

In particular:
o Public authorities/utilities/service companies at municipal level with experience in
implementing or considering to invest in Smart Cities and Smart Communities

Citizens
Technology development must also be seen in the context of the impact
it has on our citizens and our society. What are the benefits and what
are the dangers it may bring? How can we ensure that technology
development takes place in a responsible way? How can we create a
greater level of mutual engagement and understanding between
citizens and technology and avoid the creation of a technology divide?

lighting in European Cities
A few cities have already made significant deployments of LED
lighting systems in their public buildings, museums and road
systems. They have a lot of experience in LED system definition,
procurement and financing. This session builds upon the
experiences of a "lighting the cities" report published by the
European Commission in June 2013. ((http://ec.europa.eu/digital-
agenda/en/news/new-commission-report-lighting-cities-
accelerating-deployment-innovative-lighting-european.) Three cities
will share their experiences and describe lessons learnt.

11:15 - 12:00 Session 2 Lessons learnt from European, National and Regional
Supporting Schemes for LED Deployment
There have been a number of national and regional initiatives in
Europe supporting the deployment of LED Lighting systems e.g. the
German LED lead market initiative and the European Commission
Competitive and Innovation Programme. Speakers will describe
their experiences of four such programmes and how they gave them
a kick start in deploying LED systems, the benefits of doing so and
a better understanding of procuring such LED technology

Discussion and Q&A
12:00 - 13:00 Session 3 - Panel: The way forward
Having heard about the benefits and lessons learnt from various
LED deployment schemes in the previous two sessions, session 3
will look at how other cities can benefit themselves from the use of
LED installations. Questions such as how can other cities make use
of lessons already learnt, financing of further deployments, is
lighting as a service a future business model etc. will be covered.

and financing options
The effect that EU regulation has on the deployment of LED lighting
will be discussed. Additionally the financing possibilities from
sources such as the European Investment Bank will be presented.
The innovative use and deployment of LED lighting in a number of
cities going beyond just illumination but being integrated into a
smart city environment will also be covered.

15:45 - 17:00 Session 5 - Panel: Action Plan for Accelerating Large-Scale
Deployment of LED Lighting in Europe
The objective of this session is to draw conclusions from the
presentations and panel discussions during the day and start to
draw up potential actions to further promote the deployment of LED
technology. Are there any European, member state or regional
actions that can be undertaken? How to best use the experiences of
cities that have already significant LED deployment? How can this
be spread to other cities with little or no experience of LEDs?
Suggestions for the way ahead will be proposed
