I,
……………………………..........................……
(name),
representing
the
city
.................................................(name, country), herewith request to join the City Interest
Group of GrowSmarter. I agree to join this exclusive group with the aim of exchanging on
the implementation and replication of Smart City solutions in the GrowSmarter Lighthouse
and Follower Cities.
Signature: ............................................
This offer is provided within the framework of the Smart City Lighthouse Project
GrowSmarter (GA nr. 646456), co-funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of
the European Union with € 25 million. GrowSmarter kicked off on 1 January 2015 and will
run until 31 December 2019.
GrowSmarter aims to showcase a series of 12 Smart City solutions in three Lighthouse cities
(Stockholm, Cologne and Barcelona). The solutions range from advanced information and
communication technology and better connected urban mobility, to incorporating renewable
energy sources directly into the city’s supply network. The project enables public bodies to
work in partnership with private organisations to facilitate market growth at a local level,
reduce the environmental impact and improve quality of life for European citizens.
The project launched a City Interest Group (CIG) for 20 other European cities interested in
closely following and learning from the implementation of the Smart City solutions in the
Lighthouse and Follower Cities (Cork, Graz, Porto, Suceava, Valletta).

H. Additional voluntary activity:
Our city is interested in developing a Replication Assessment Report: ............ (Yes/no)
The Replication Assessment Report consists of two parts. Part one focuses on the Smart City
Replication Profile and maps the overall framework conditions and potentials for replication
within the city territory/potential districts for replication.
Part two zooms in on the selected GrowSmarter solutions and describes their replication
potential and possible need of adaptation within the city/districts.
The first three CIG members that produce a Replication Assessment Report will have the
opportunity to receive one on-site capacity building workshop to support the
development of a full Replication Plan, organised by ICLEI- Local Governments for
Sustainability with the involvement of Lighthouse and/or Follower Cities as appropriate.
