Agenda Building 21st Century Smart Economy Global Smart City Projects Why Canada needs a new economic plan? How to identify key building blocks? Where to start? What to do? Phase 1: Develop Smart City White Paper Phase 2: Approach all Three government levels Phase 3: Commitment to develop/execute plan EFC s Support Role HOW & WHAT?
Building 21 st Century Smart Economy Why is this important to Canada? Economic growth remains flat Productivity has dipped Primary economic dependence on oil/gas sector no longer sustainable Need to diversify & grow Canada s economic engine for 21 st century No one sector can do it alone Big Data creation & knowledge management new GOLD std Products and services not incorporating data generating sensors or knowledge aggregation and analysis will have limited future market
Global Smart City Projects Navigant Research counted: 235 40% increase from Q3, 2013 to 4Q 2015 US $10.4 B technology market for 2015 13% compounded annual growth by 2023: $23B Europe > 90 cities Asia > 60 North America > 50 (Canada limited #) LA, Middle East, Africa > 20 each No country has a national strategic plan!
Why Canada needs a new economic plan? Fed/Prov gov t plan to spend $150B+ on infrastructure for next 10 years Political will to cooperate has never been better 10 Federal Minister mandate letters contain instructions aligning with a Smart City strategy Feds now focused on ideas for innovation New: Innovation, Science & Economic Dev. Canada COP 21: Sustainable Innovation, Climate Change 1 st Minister s agreement to reduce GHGs by 30 per cent Created: Advisory Council on Economic Growth
Why Canada needs a new economic plan? Need a large-mission-focus to channel multiple future business development opportunities Accelerated R&D & deployment across the board Contribution to sustained growth for next 50+ years Create exportable lessons learned knowledge and expertise Now is our opportunity to lead/steer infrastructure & support services investment for Electrical sector Electrical products and service are foundational for: Smart: Energy, Buildings, Factories and Cities
How to identify key building blocks? We already have: Smart Grid/Smart Energy Roadmap in place Can be used a template for expanded role Intelligent/green Buildings developing rapidly CABA message: current frustration with lack of cooperation on various system s interoperability Factory Automation: 4.0 Common: IoT/IoE, data analytics, M/C learning Missing connecting core structural element? Smart City Infrastructure!
Smart Infrastructure Smart infrastructure leads to Smart Cities, creating Smart Economy Cities represent 75-80% of country GDP Built in: low power embedded sensor networks IoT Analytics machine learning Presents a tremendous opportunity to improve these economic hub s efficiency, sustainability and predictable growth development
Where to start? Establish a Canadian cross sector industry/business team to: develop a white paper providing example Use Cases describing the opportunities and benefits of a public/private sector partnership Goal: to exponentially grow an economic hub through innovation at multiple levels (public/private) Objective: to achieve efficiency of services, growth in new and existing business opportunities through sustainable and predictable means
Where to start? The Continental Automated Building Association (CABA) is a well recognized and successful CA/US association with leading edge capabilities in research of intelligent residential/commercial buildings and mobile device interfaces. They get the meaning of systems coordination Provides excellent launch pad to expand coordination beyond just buildings

What to do? Phase 1: Select key industry/business Canadian sector association team to collaborate on developing the white paper Each association to seek input from members as needed to develop their respective view point and Use Cases for sector customers Include both city services and private sector interchanges
Phase 2: What to do? Industry/business stakeholder team presents opportunity Federal, followed by Prov./Muni. government departments Get their input to evolve Use Cases Explore opportunity and means to develop concept roadmap & identify necessary inter-dependencies involved Commitment to establish public/private oversight team to draft Phase 3 executable plans
What to do? Phase 3: Enable formal agreements Establish founding principles, goals, objectives Means to develop/maintain concept roadmap Means to develop roadmap enabling architectural framework and standards Adapt Smart Grid/energy framework model Take leadership role at IEC, ISO, ITU standards forum Establish means for collaborative pub/priv oversight Near/mid/long term management system modeling tools Includes funding support model Develop criteria for prioritizing smart city/hub pilots
How & What? EFC s Support Role? Support this initiative in principle Prepare your organizational support for each phase Phase 1: Staff assist with Electrical sector Use Cases Phase 2: Identify key Canadian Executives to meet Gov t Consider appropriate P3 funding model for Phase 3 Phase 3 deployment: Staff assist with relevant development of model framework, standards and other task groups as appropriate Canadian C-suite to serve on P3 oversight panel Staff do not have to be Canadian based
Summary Take advantage of CAN Public Sector Funding Combined Public/Private focus to develop Smart Cities framework with short, medium and long term goals and objectives Integrate with Smart Grid/Energy, building and factory strategies for accelerated growth capabilities
Summary Creating a 21 st century knowledge-based economic mission will spur yet unthought-of business opportunities, create new jobs, products & business services, generate taxable revenue, improve both civic/private system efficiencies, & citizen lifestyle. These economic hubs become a magnet for innovative businesses and entrepreneurs for many decades to come. Smart City how to knowledge becomes an exportable resource for the next century
