The French Israeli Team in the Happy hour

I was happy to be a representative of ISCI - Israel Smart City Institute - http://israelsmartcities.org and of the ISCI- GLOBAL FORUM 4 CITY INNOVATION- https://www.isci-globalforum4cityinnovation.com in this great event.

A BIG THANK YOU to Yossi Dan - the co-founder of https://chutzpah-lab.com/, and ISCI member, that invited me as his guest in the ISRAEL-FRANCE chamber of commerce-https://www.linkedin.com/company/chambre-de-commerce-et-d'industrie-isra-l-france/about/ & the Chutzpah-Lab's pavilion. I was lucky to be there at the happy hour where many representatives of both Israeli ad French companies gathered to exchange experiences of the congress, to talk and have a good drink together.


As mentioned above, EcoMotion is about smart mobility bringing people together. Obviously- smart cities and other living zones- globally- are some of the largest potential clients for any smart mobility promoting company or any other organizations- including NGOs and an governmental organizations.


One of our forum's main goals is- to move some of the "stage lights" from the Smart city or Smart living zone or any local government running them as a whole- to the actual people-individuals- that make these tick and work.


On this note- of giving personal accreditation to the individuals behind the scenes- we feel it is important to thank the people behind EcoMotion. Here is the link - we found on the event website, with the team that did such a great job in putting this whole event together- https://www.ecomotionweek.com/ about Thank you!!! I was also happy to meet there a member of this team, Jonathan Menuhim, PhD CEO, Israel Innovation Institute.

The people in the SMART CITIES arena that make things happen are amongst others, the municipal staff members, the engaged residents , the captains of these cities and living zones such as the Mayors and high position officers and members of city councils All are men and women that have a big say in making these decisions. These include: choosing the product that fit their specific cities or communities: electric buses ,charging stations, smarter roads, smarter garbage trucks, parking censors and more In addition- these people are in charge of questions such as what implications will any purchase of these products have on the city as a whole, on it's budget, on the mobility offered within it, on it's ecosystems and on the different communities and individuals in it. In addition the cities' leaders-individuals- will need to solve many challenges such as- how will the relevant staff members in each local government react to new smart mobility products- disseminate them throughout the city, mange the training of the relevant employees, introduce them to all city stakeholders , answer to those that are less happy with the changes etc. etc.

Each of these people will need to be engaged, at times think out of the box, be alert and many times innovative - so that they can help connect the dots between the smartest of technologies and the people that actually will need to live next to them, with them or within them. These individuals need to be awarded by acknowledgment and gratitude of the local government and of their communities - including online. Smart M0bility , as Smart health as Smart services - are all dependent on the people that administer them and connect them to the clients- the residents- individua's , businesses and visitors.
