About three quarters of the population in Europe live in or around urban areas, consuming 70% of the EU energy and emitting about the same share of greenhouse gases and the trend is rising.

That's where cities come in…

Lighthouse projects

• Low energy districts• Integrated infrastructures • Sustainable urban mobility

Conditions

• Consortia: industry & cities• 2-3 cities involving

2-3 follower cities• Part of ambitious urban plan• Funding from other parts secured• Affordable solutions

• The Invitation for Commitments is distinct and independent from Calls under Horizon 2020

it is not a funding instrument.

• Dynamic market place• Visibility: promote actions on a European scale• Engage with others to get new ideas and feedback

on actions • Learn from others and exchanges best practices • Partner with others to jointly achieve more and

create cost savings or new business
