Our Amsterdam Smart City programme and participants in this day will present their progress on innovation projects, share requests and dilemmas, while engaging more partners to move issues forward.

We will kick off the event with an optional knowledge session. Next, the Demo Day will start. Here, smaller groups of participants will address a number of questions in working sessions. We’ll conclude with snacks and drinks. The afternoons are characterised by a very open and cheerful atmosphere.

Work Sessions

  • Energy – Co-creation with residents in the heat transition – Dave van Loon & Marieke van Doorninck (Kennisland) / Marije Poel (HvA)
    • Kennisland is working on a plan to involve residents early in the heat transition of neighbourhoods. This working session will test the idea so that it can be taken a step further. Input is gathered for the plan, possibilities are looked at for places to implement this plan and financing, and finally partners are sought to get started on this in concrete terms.
  • Mobility – Mobility Justice: defining together, dooming and tackling – Mobility Justice graduation circle HvA
    • Students Jackie Ippel, Timo van Elst, Merel Thuis and Jade Salomons are carrying out a graduation project on Mobility Justice on behalf of the Province of Noord-Holland and Amsterdam Smart City. Their research focuses on elderly people in Purmerend, experiences of mobility poverty and the gap between policymakers and target groups. During this session, they aim to find definitions for (mobility) justice together with participants and come up with solutions through creative forms of work.
  • Cooperative – How can we make energy cooperatives attractive to young people? – Lieke Schneijdenberg (COOP Centraal)
    • COOP Centraal connects young people and knowledge institutions with energy cooperatives in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region to help set up and run them. They use educational assignments to find answers to help cooperatives and fill vacancies with enthusiastic young people. To make working at/for a cooperative more attractive, during this working session they want to discuss ideas to make engaging young people easier and show what cooperatives have to offer.
  • Digital – Data Commons: The Green Mile case – Lia Hsu (Amsterdam Economic Board)

Pitches

  • True price lab HvA – Sjoukje Goldman PhD (HvA)
