| Abstract |
This paper explains how a proactive city as an R&D&I ecosystem can achieve remarkable results in the field of innovation. The City of Oulu has an internationally recognized tradition as an innovation center. Especially, the city's track record in the field of ICT can be regarded as a great success. The secret behind this development is in a seamless collaboration between all the central players related to innovation. This includes PPPP - Private-Public-People-Partnership. All parts of the innovation support are in place, ranging all the way from the basic infrastructure and services, to the world class research and support for businesses. The paper provides an insight to the Oulu experience in introducing the technology, business models, partnership and innovation concepts of a smart city, and also the vision and strategic steps towards keeping up the top performance as a global level innovation hub. |
