Presentation given by Alexandre Chaffotte, City of Saint Quentin, at Open & Agile Smart Cities' annual Connected Smart Cities & Communities Conference 2020 on 23 January in Brussels, Belgium

1. Digital journey of a mid-sized city :
From strategy to concrete implementations

2. *MAIN PROJECTS
The big picture :
One digital ambition, three strategic goals
Pursue pragmatic &
useful purposes
Support digital
empowerment of local
stakeholders
Generate economic
opportunities through
digital sector
Digital as a
vector for
sustainability
digital technology for
more efficient
management of
resources
Integrate people
thanks too digital
inclusiveness
Promoting the
digitalisation of
traditional
economic sectors
Onboarding of
local ecosystem
in the creation of
new value chains
Focusing on the
job creation
potential of digital
for the youth

3. *MAIN PROJECTSBring big picture to life with concrete implementations
Co-development of solutions with
the local ecosystem
Optimising
stadium
watering to
reduce water
consumption
Minimisation of
daily staff travel
for stadium
maintenance optimize meal
order
management
to reduce food
waste
raise children's
awareness to
make them
actors in the
reduction of
waste

4. *MAIN PROJECTS
Le 19/01/18
One methodology shapping multiple implementations
A MINs menu with 2 dishes :
interoperable plateform + datamodel based on open standards
The
menu
MIM 1 – Context Information Management API
MIM 2 – Shared data model
MIM 4 – Security API
MIM 5 – Data storage API
FIWARE Context Broker
(CEF Building Block)
Agregation from open communities
(FIWARE, schema, GSMA,..)
FIWARE IDM
(Keyrock / Wilma)
CKAN + Quantum Leap
(Keyrock / Wilma)

Final thougt :
Why it’s interesting for us to take the MIMs menu
A simple equation coming from watering optimisation pilote
Image a world with no interoperability Imagine a word full of interoperability
Need to make
everything work
as an united
ecosystem
IoT devices, data and equipments are not
able to communicate and interact together
the potential for value creation of smart
solutions is highly constrained « 1+1=1,5 »
IoT devices, data and equipments can all
work with each other in harmonious way
Smart solutions are working at their full
potential & deliver full benefits « 1+1= 3 »
