Welcome to EIT ICT Labs Results Day focused on Urban Life and Mobility! On December 18, with our research, industry and academic partners, our start-ups and our students, all engaged into innovation and entrepreneurship, we are delighted to invite you to join, meet and discover who we are and what we do.
EIT ICT Labs was set up in 2010 by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), as an initiative of the European Union. It is an organisation dedicated to innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It is located in 9 countries and 13 cities in Europe, including Paris, Rennes and Sophia Antipolis in France.
At EIT ICT Labs, we strongly believe that Europe is what we do and we are putting all our efforts building up the place that will make the difference. We are also well aware that this is urgent time for doing, so as to recover economic growth, create jobs and improve the quality of life.
On December 18, we will present you some of our results, illustrated through disruptive activities in Urban Life & Mobility, one of our innovation areas. It does not only deal with Smart Cities, but mostly with Smart Citizens. The emergence of new behaviours is at the origin of new business models, resulting in value creation and renewed city governance.
We look forward to meeting you, so as to do even more together.

By Roberto Saracco, EIT ICT Labs Italy Director, international speaker (incl. TEDx), blogger, author, Future Direction Committee Lead at IEEE, ex Director of the Telecom Italia Future Centre in Venice, always at the interplay of technology, economics and society.

"We are planning the evolution of our cities over a period of several years only. We tend to forget that cities are living organisms whose existence extends well beyond our life. Still, we look with amazement at cities that were built 2000 years ago and marvel at the technology they used. Is ICT, and the way we plan to use it, a disruptive tool that will reshape cities for centuries to come ?"
