Introduction
Nowadays cities are facing several
challenges related to climate change,
demography, energy dependency, and
social exclusion, which calls for new urban
development paradigms.
points and the implementation of the
intelligent mobility information system was the
aim of the consortium. Now, the municipalities
are considering the enlargement of the
network in terms of intervention areas (not
only mobility, but also energy, environment,
governance, social innovation, etc.) towards a
smart cities network.
In this context, concrete smart city projects are
being implemented around the world, and it is
expected an exponential growth in the smart
city market. According to ABI Research (2011),
the market for technologies that feed into and
support smart city programmes and projects
will grow on a global basis from $8 billion in
2010 to exceed $39 billion in 2016, accounting
for $116 billion in cumulative spending during
that period.
The Smart Cities Portugal platform,
coordinated by INTELI results of the need
to promote cooperation not only among
cities but also with other players operating in
the smart cities market, namely companies,
clusters, universities, R&D centres and public
agencies. Asserting Portugal as a place for
the development and experimentation of
technology solutions, products and valueadded systems for smart cities at global level
is the main ambition of the partnership. It
is a pioneer initiative in Europe due to the
aggregation of multiple and heterogeneous
entities with different interests but with a
common objective: contribute to solving urban
problems through knowledge and innovation.
Moreover, the implementation of smart city
projects is being privileged by European
policies, namely within the programming
period 2014-2020. The “Smart Cities and
Communities European Innovation Partnership”
coordinates smart city research and innovation
projects, which can be funded under Horizon
2020 and other funding programmes.
Creating and enlarging the smart city market
is one objective of the initiative through the
implementation of lighthouse projects.
This briefing is the result of a preliminary
analysis of the competencies and capabilities
of national companies and R&D centres to
work in the smart cities market, under the
framework of the Smart Cities Portugal
platform. The final document will be
published in the beginning of 2014.
Due to these needs and opportunities, INTELI –
Inteligência em Inovação, Centro de Inovação,
a private non-profit association, has started to
work with Portuguese cities in the area of urban
intelligence. The pilot project was linked to the
National Electric Mobility Programme, where
a network of 25 municipalities was created as
a living lab – RENER Living Lab, coordinated
by INTELI. Testing the installation of charging

Smart Cities Portugal
Collaborative platform
Companies, clusters, universities, R&D centres,
municipalities and other economic and social
players acting in the smart cities market joined
forces to create the Smart Cities Portugal
collaborative platform.
Asserting Portugal as a place for the development
and experimentation of technology solutions,
products and value-added systems for smart cities at
global level is the main ambition of the initiative.
Smart Cities Portugal, promoted by INTELI, intends
to create synergies among different players
enhancing the roll out of integrated and scalable
creative solutions to solve urban problems. Smart
city solutions tested in Portuguese cities could be
replicated in other urban spaces around the world,
improving the internationalisation potential of
national companies and clusters.
It is an awareness, intelligence, advocacy and
acceleration platform, which will also tackle demand
side measures and contribute to the elimination of
market barriers, in the areas of public procurement,
standardisation, business models, financing
mechanisms, stakeholders’ involvement, etc.
In fact, citizen participation in urban transformation
processes is a critical success factor for the
implementation of smart city strategies, in a
perspective of co-creation and open innovation.
Living lab approaches are very useful to promote the
involvement of the population in the generation of
ideas for future cities.
Objectives
- Promote the development of smart city pilot
projects in cooperation among cities, R&D centers
and companies, with a view to improving citizens’
quality of life;
- Evaluate the impact of smart city projects on
wealth creation, jobs generation, environment
quality and citizens’ quality of life, through the use
of specific metrics and key performance indicators;
- Stimulate the scaling up of innovative urban
solutions, replicating worldwide the smart city
projects tested in Portuguese cities;
- Contribute to increase the local content of foreign
direct investment projects linked to smart growth;
- Promote the participation of Portuguese players in
lighthouse European projects in the area of smart
cities;

Overview
This exercise intends to analyse, in a
preliminary base, the competencies and
capabilities of Portuguese companies and R&D
centres operating in the smart cities market. It
complements the evaluation of the smartness
level of national municipalities through
the application of a smart city index, work
developed by INTELI in 2012.
The smart cities cluster is not a homogeneous sector
and integrates several entities with different aims
and interests. It calls for a new “cooperative working
environment”, being the partnerships between
companies and municipalities a critical success
factor for the implementation of smart city projects.
It is also necessary to promote the right enabling
conditions for the market to function, as well as a
better understanding of its characteristics.
Sample
With this objective INTELI launched a questionnaire
to be answered by start-ups, companies, universities,
R&D centres, and technological infrastructures. 78%
of the respondents are companies, mainly SMEs (of
which 74%).
These entities either develop smart cities solutions
or have competencies and capabilities to potentially
work in the smart cities market. Governance,
mobility and energy, followed by buildings are their
general fields of activity.
It is worth of notice that, since the smart city concept
is still ambiguous, some companies develop smart
cities solutions but don’t identify them as such.
Moreover, some products and services produced
for other markets could be easily adapted to solve
urban problems.
15
Type of entities
Fields of work
Needs and overall priorities
When they were asked about the information
they would like to access through the Smart Cities
Portugal portal, “partnership opportunities” and
“cities profiles and needs” were the top priorities.
It is interesting to note that the smart city market
is not a traditional market characterised by clientsupplier relationships. It is necessary to build true
partnerships between cities and companies, using
innovative public procurement tools. In this process,
information on cities needs is essential to enable the
development of customised urban solutions.
Besides this, the inquired entities would like to use
the Smart Cities portal essentially for networking
and search for partners, and publishing their profile
and the projects they are developing.
Access to information
Perceptions
Access to information on smart cities
programmes and projects
The perceptions of the respondents about the Smart
Cities Portugal initiative are analysed in this section.
76% of the entities consider “very important” and
24% “important” the launching of this platform.
None of them referred the network as “nonimportant” or “irrelevant”.
Advantages
One of the aims of Smart Cities Portugal is to provide
better information about the smart cities market
through the development of intelligence exercises.
This need is corroborated by the respondents:
around 61% consider “difficult” or “very difficult” the
access to information on smart cities programmes
and projects. However, in the opinion of the inquired
entities the identification of business opportunities
and the integration in partnerships are the most
relevant advantages of participating in the Smart
Cities Portugal initiative.

Profile & Competencies
Strategic Areas
The horizontal strategic areas of intervention of
the Smart Cities Portugal initiative were defined as
internationalisation, R&D and innovation, access to
funding, urban entrepreneurship and regulation.
All domains were considered relevant, but the
identified priorities were R&D and innovation and
internationalisation.
Several companies and R&D centres are creating
specific departments dedicated to smart
cities, which are mainly characterised by the
interdisciplinarity of competencies. For example,
the University of Oporto has created the Centre
of Competence for Future Cities, and Siemens the
“Infrastructure & Cities” sector.
Strategic areas of intervention
Among the respondents, only 31% have created
organisational departments to deal with smart
cities issues.
Smart Cities competencies
Competencies
However, even not formalised in the institutional
structure, 69% of the inquired entities have
competencies in the smart cities area, being their
position in the supply chain essentially situated in
the “design and development” stage.

Products and services
The top application areas of smart cities products
and services are governance, mobility and energy.
However, in the case of R&D centres the scenario is
slightly different with a bigger importance devoted
to buildings and energy.
Systems integrators, mainly multinationals are
developing smart city platforms, with the aim of
providing real time information to operators and city
authorities.
Smart cities clients are mainly municipalities,
followed by utilities.
E-government solutions, municipal portals,
management systems (ERP, AIRC), and public
procurement tools are the principal products and
services provided in the area of governance.
23% of the respondents have registered patents
related to smart cities products.
In terms of revenues, 10% of the total turnover of
these entities results from smart cities products.
However, it is still very difficult for companies to
separate smart city and non-smart city projects in
their accounts, due to the newness and ambiguity
of the concept.
Markets
24% of the respondents exports smart cities
products and solutions. Their target markets
are mainly located in Europe (Spain, France,
Turkey, Switzerland and Ireland), Africa (Angola,
Mozambique), and Latin America (Brazil).
Mobility products and services are mainly linked
to electric mobility (charging points, electric bikesharing, electric car-sharing), parking management
and integrated ticketing. Intelligent lighting
systems, PV panels, integration of renewable energy
solutions, are some of the products offered in the
area of energy.
It is worth of notice that when they are asked
about their future target markets, the scenario is
slightly different, due to the growing opportunities
identified in Latin America and also in Asia and
Middle East.

Smart cities market is not yet in a mature stage. To
accelerate the transition to a renovated urban development paradigm, it will be needed to strengthen
enablers and removing market barriers. Overcoming
these barriers will enhance the adoption of innovations, the deployment of smart city solutions and the
enlargement of the market.
Projects
26% of the respondents have already participated
in smart cities projects, with a greater relevance
of energy and mobility as application areas.
These projects are mainly funded by national and
European programmes, such as 7º Framework
Programme and CIP.
The perception of respondents resulted in the systematisation of the following barriers:
All the inquired entities have demonstrated interest
to participate in European projects of the next
programming period 2014-2020, and consider
the Smart Cities Portugal Platform a useful tool
for the identification of partners and detection of
opportunities.

Electric Vehicles as Energy Storage Devices - MAGNUM CAP
City Pulse - Taking the fast lane - NOVABASE
Electric Vehicles are distributed energy storage devices
that may hold the excess of renewable energy generated at
peaks time and use it afterwards when driving to work or returning home. They are the solution to increase significantly
the amount of renewable energy sources and use renewables definitively and efficiently in transports.
Concentrating millions of people into cities makes them energy efficient habitats. But how do we make sure all these
people can move quickly?
One answer is transport with exclusive lanes aimed at high
frequency and volume of passengers. While traditional solutions such as underground metro have huge lead times and
are expensive, alternatives like light metro, either on rail or
on tires, are much simpler to implement.
MAGNUM CAP developed a solution where renewables and
electric vehicles make the perfect match. The company invested on its own onsite off the grid renewable energy production, converting its facilities to a 100% renewable factory. All covered with solar photovoltaic panels, jointly with
energy storage, produces their entire daily needs, using the
surplus energy to fulfill company electric vehicles fleet.
The key factors here are speed, simplicity and automation.
Extensive information and entertainment provided to passengers along the journey greatly improve their perceived
experience. Stations welcome passengers providing security, comfort and information, where tickets are purchased
and validated before boarding, mainly through self-service
easy-to-use and remotely assisted devices. Intermodality,
i.e. the integration of various transport modes in a single
trip, is paramount.
MAGNUM CAP is a company focused on developing electronic equipment for energy management, controlling and
distribution, being its current main focus the manufacturing of EV charging systems, energy storage systems and grid
connection.
For all this to work, well synchronized information systems
are essential. City Pulse, developed by Novabase, is the turnkey solution to make it happen.

CSiB - mobiag
City Platform Solution - Oracle Portugal
Local governments are bearing the brunt of major global
changes as urban areas continue to grow in population. Unfortunately, government resources have not kept pace and
services are often delivered over aging infrastructure and
shrinking workforces. Innovative authorities will leverage
IT in an intelligent, integrated fashion: looking to use the
least expensive, fastest means of delivering services. Oracle
has developed its City Platform Solution, based on three key
platforms:
Mobiag provides integrated services to the car-sharing industry, through an innovative solution that allows operators of any size to offer their clients a functional, one-way
service. The product, named CSiB, is complete, “in-a-box”
solution for new car-sharing operators including best-inclass operations management software - the MobiCS - and
operational consulting.
Mobiag also creates car-sharing networks that include not
only traditional operators but new specialised entrants, who
can focus only in client management (retailers, universities
or auto clubs) or fleet management (fleet managers,
rent-a-car companies). The only model these entities can
participate in the car-sharing industry directly is operating
inside a managed network that leverages their strengths.
•
•
These products and services are aimed at two distinct
groups of stakeholders - car-sharing operators and urban
managers in charge of mobility and city management.

LX Mobilidade - CEIIA
Smart Insular Electric Networks - Smartwatt
LX Mobilidade is a shared mobility system designed by
CEIIA for Lisbon. It integrates eMobility Devices (bikes,
cars…), Smart Charging Systems and Intelligent Mobility
Management Systems for a more connected, integrated and
sustainable city.
Electrical insular systems are power systems with high
level of sustainability. Insular electrical systems are small
systems with high level of renewable energy integration.
The management of these power systems requires a
complex management system to control the variability of
the renewable energy sources.
CEIIA has designed an electric bike and a smart charging
device specific for shared uses and a friendly user interface
through a mobile app. The first testing was conducted last
September.
In the scope of the FP7 project SINGULAR “Smart and
Sustainable Insular Electricity Grids under Large-Scale
renewable Integration”, the company Smartwatt, developed
new approaches for management power generation
scheduling and economic dispatch based on advanced
forecasting approaches. These approaches provides the
optimal scheduling of generation for one week ahead,
providing also hourly price signals for the week ahead. The
broadcast of these price signal forecasts allow a demand
response from smart consumption systems typical from
smart cities.
The bikesharing system runs on top of MOBI-ME, an intelligent energy and mobility management system, developed
by CEIIA connected with the transport, energy and communication infrastructures in real-time. Any person can then
use services provided by different operators (sharing, buses,
tolling, EV charging, parking…) via a single access mechanism and a preferred payment method.
Increasing the capillarity of the transportation system and
integrating public and individual transportation will allow
citizens to choose the best mobility alternative. Less use
of private cars and optimal mobility flows will reduce GHG
emissions and the cost of mobility.
