 In 2009, Dr Azamat Abdoullaev, as I-Europe Research Consortium Coordinator, proposed to the then president of the
European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, and the European Council president, Herman Van Rompuy, a trans-European
strategy “Smart Intelligent Europe” for building smart, intelligent and sustainable European Union:
 http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/secretariat_general/eu2020/docs/intelligent_europe_center_en.pdf
 https://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/intelligent-europe-project
 On 3 March 2010, the European Commission proposed our trans-European strategy “Smart Intelligent Europe” as Europe
2020, a 10-year strategy for advancement of the economy of the European Union as if following the failed Lisbon Strategy,
2000–2010.
 On 26 March 2010, the European Council agreed on key elements of the new strategy, chaired by H. Rompuy.
The strategy elements were formally adopted on 17 June 2010.
 Keeping the key points of "smart, sustainable, inclusive growth“, the strategy was extended with five headline targets
originated from the Germany Digital Agenda in 2009 led by Henrik von Scheel for the Federal Minister of Economy &
Technology (evolved in 2013 into the Industry 4.0):
 To raise the employment rate of the population aged 20–64 from the current 69% to at least 75%.
 To achieve the target of investing 3% of GDP in R&D in particular by improving the conditions for R&D investment by the private sector, and develop a
new indicator to track innovation.
 To reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% compared to 1990 levels or by 30% if the conditions are right, increase the share of renewable
energy in final energy consumption to 20%, and achieve a 20% increase in energy efficiency.
 To reduce the share of early school leavers to 10% from the current 15% and increase the share of the population aged 30–34 having completed tertiary
from 31% to at least 40%.
 To reduce the number of Europeans living below national poverty lines by 25%, lifting 20 million people out of poverty.
 seven flagship initiatives
 It was also added up with seven flagship initiatives, such as Innovation Union and European platform against poverty.
 The Horizon 2020 framework programme, with its 80 billion and more euro budget for the years 2014-2020, just one of the
implementing tools of the Europe 2020 strategy.
 All in all, it is about 1 trillion euro was allocated for the Europe 2020 Strategy, its development and implementation.
 The author’s IP for the European strategy for building smart, intelligent and sustainable European Union has never been
recognized by the European Commission and the European Council. The author had never financial benefit from what he
created, and this certainly makes a high-level case of the author’s right violation by the EU Administration.

 Research and development of smart territories of the future is a stated objective of academia, research institutes and think
tanks, as well as many governments and corporations worldwide.
 First of all, smart territories meet the dual objectives of sustainability and improvement in the quality of life.
 In addition, as the global population increases, the world must also move towards smarter use of available resources, natural,
human, financial and material.
 Smart is a fundamentally innovative multidisciplinary concept that helps the human communities of any scale and scope by
enhancing their overall sustainability, livability and techno-social progress.
 As such, it meets the triple goals of fundamental innovations, sustainable future and improvement in the quality of life.
 Smart concepts integrate a diverse set of assets and expertise in the areas of natural science, engineering, and innovative
technologies, social science, political science, and economics, electronics, informatics, computing, and mathematics, urban
planning and city administration, project management and business management.
 The concept of Smart Territories is to integrate 21st century fundamental innovations and disruptive technologies to meet
territorial, political, economic, environmental, infrastructure, social, cultural and demographic challenges.
 Our key goal is to work out techno-social strategies and sustainable community development policies to help the key
stakeholder transform the human communities, international or national, regional, urban or local, into eco-sustainable,
intelligent, and smart territories.
 Smart Territories of the Future described as Cyber-Physical Intelligent Ecosystems. They are to be controlled and managed by
Territorial Intelligent Systems, TIS , Integrated Techno-Social Smart Cloud Platforms and Intelligent Operations Systems, to be
scaled for local, urban, national and global communities.
 The European Union governed by the smart Europe 2020 Strategy is selected as a case of transnational community, while its
member state, Smart Cyprus, as a case of national community.

own corners.
 I proposed a positive agenda to help create – as I said last year – a Europe that protects, empowers and
defends.
 we should chart the direction for the future. Now is the time to build a more united, stronger and more
democratic Europe for 2025”.
 Political groups welcomed Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker’s ambitious vision for a strong and
united Europe 2025 in the annual “State of the Union” debate
 Mr Juncker announced proposals for a European finance minister, legal migration, cybersecurity, freedom
and rights of workers, international trade and the Defence Union, for Parliament and Council to discuss and
decide on before the end of term.
 To represent a strong Union, he would like to see the European Council and Commission Presidency taken up
by the most successful “Spitzenkandidat” to be elected by EU citizens in the next European elections, in June
2019.
 KEY PROPOSALS
 Roadmap to EU 2025 built on democratic values and efficient decision-making
 Complete Defence, Security, Energy, Digital, Monetary and Capital Markets Union

 We are used to looking at Europe’s problems in a purely financial context, what is a critical mistake
missing the real reasons why the EU will fail and if to survive, why it should be rebuild differently.
 The European Union was originally a creation of US post-war foreign policy, as a buffer against the Soviet
Union.
 There was the Marshall Plan, which from 1948 provided funds to help rebuild Europe’s infrastructure.
 The establishment of NATO in 1949 ensured American and British troops permanent bases in Germany.
 A CIA sponsored American Committee on United Europe to promote European political union.
 The EU was in no way a natural European development. The concept of political union, via the European
Coal and Steel Community, realized in the Treaty of Paris in 1951 with France, West Germany, Belgium,
Luxembourg and Italy.
 The ECSC evolved into the EU as today, with an additional 21 member states, now missing the UK.
 With the original founders retaining their national identity, the EU resembles a political mess-up, each
retaining its original characteristics. After sixty-five years, a Frenchman is still a French nationalist.
Germans are German, the Italians Italian, Belgium is between Walloons and the Flemish, the Greeks are
Greek, etc,
 As a result, the EU lacks common national identity and therefore political cohesion, like the USA or Russian
Federation.
 On the top, the poor member states, as Romania, Bulgaria becoming just poorer, the rich, as Luxemburg or
Germany, the richer
 The EU is really the Franco-German Alliance where real power is in “a small cabal of nation states, paying a
lip-service to the Brussels bureaucracy”.
 The Eurozone’s banking system, incorporating the national central banks and the ECB, just the means to
buy German goods on credit.
 Now the Germans want their money back. The debtors cannot pay, and need to borrow more money just to
survive. Neither side wishes to face reality. It started with Ireland, then Cyprus, followed by Greece and
Portugal, Italy, Spain and France.
 The whole Eurozone banking system is in deep trouble, as the German government itself
 So, nobody wants such a EU, an artificial Franco-German Alliance; for it is doomed.
 The people of Europe is looking for a really United Europe, Inclusive, Social, Safe and Secure.

 Disunion and Political Instability (
Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements)
 Youth Unemployment and Structural Unemployment
 Disrule of Law, Injustice and Inequality
 Insecurity and Mass Migration
 Science, Innovation and Technology
 Distrust, Public Administration and Government Policy
 The EU Institutions
 the Brussels bureaucracy are merely disaster, no vision or competency, efficiency or effectiveness. (
Since 2009 Intelligent Europe has been proposed many times with no effects :
http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/secretariat_general/eu2020/docs/intelligent_europe_center_en.pdf )
 The European Commission is just useless, marked by bureaucracy and destructive government.
 The EU parliament is just toothless, marked by 20.000 Euros monthly for each MP.
 The European Council of national heads of government, foreign ministers, and representatives of the
Commission setting the EU agenda is just acting as a “board of directors.”
 Ubiquitous Corruption, Organized Crime, Fraud and Embezzlement, Crime and Offence
 Corrupt European countries are costing EU 6.3 per cent of overall EU-28 GDP plus 1% from organized crime.
 Corruption also has significant social and political costs. It is associated with more unequal societies, higher
levels of organised crime, weaker rule of law, reduced voters turnout in national parliamentary elections and
lower trust in EU institutions. (the criminal justice and fundamental rights remains under-represented both in
terms of actors involved and substantive considerations)
 Organised Crime and Corruption: Cost of Non-Europe Report
 http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/IDAN/2016/558779/EPRS_IDA%282016%29558779_EN.pdf

 Corruption, the “abuse of power for private gain” varying from paying bribes to officials abusing their powers
to award lucrative procurement contracts, continues to be a challenge for Europe - a phenomenon that cost
the European economy around 1 trillion euros per year: corrupt European countries are costing EU 6.3 per
cent of overall EU-28 GDP.
 Europeans are deeply worried about corruption - Eurobarometer survey results show that three quarters
(76%) of Europeans think that corruption is widespread and more than half (56%) think that the level of
corruption in their country has increased over the past three years.
 Creating a European Public Prosecutors’ Office as part of a crackdown on corrupt practises is merely
another corrupted office.
 Estimating the costs of organised crime is hard due to the absence of data collected independently from the
serious crimes committed.
 The size of the illicit markets in the EU is around 1% of EU GDP, representing a value of around 110 billion
euro; serious social crimes involve white collar and environmental crimes.
 Different types of fraud, as forgery, bank fraud, insurance fraud, mortgage fraud, property fraud, and land
investment fraud (it is hard to estimate value lost through fraudulent acts in EU and all the damage inflicted
on its social and economic life).
 (The author personally became the fraud victim in two separate cases, as the crime against justice on the false documentation
and the fake title deed bringing 1.5 m euro financial damages, when the fraud perpetrators had not been prosecuted and
imprisoned by governmental authorities).
 Not mentioning the intellectual rights property infringement, like as 2bn euro smart eco-development project,
Neapolis - Smart EcoCity, presented by its developers, former Cyprus government and European Commission as a model for
future cities, violating the author’s rights. http://www.urenio.org/2010/10/25/neapolis-smart-ecocity-cyprus/

 Since the fall of the Roman Empire in A.D. 476, European peoples and leaders have dreamed of unifying
Europe to stop wars and conflicts among European nations and states and to leave in peace and prosperity.
 Great conquerors like Charlemagne and Napoleon, not mentioning Hitler, tried but failed. Two disastrous
world wars in the 20th century almost demolished Europe.
 After World War II, many European leaders sought a new way to prevent war from ever taking place again on
their continent, seeking for the United States of Europe, the European state, the European federation, and
Federal Europe, the unification of Europe as a single sovereign federation of states, similar to the United
States of America.
 Winston Churchill's speech after the Second World War called for "a sort of United States of Europe", a
precursor to the concept of a European superstate, the European integration with a common fiscal policy, a
common debt and a common military, among other things.
 Since World War II, Europe has grown more unified, emerging now as the European Union, a hybrid system of
intergovernmentalism and supranationalism, but not as a truly “United States of Europe.”
 In the EU, the sovereign nation-state has dominated Europe, the key political decisions are made by national
governments and parliaments.
 As a result, there is widespread disagreement today on the future of the European Union: if the European
Union will continue as it is, as it now functions and operates? Should it go backward to an association of
conflicting sovereign nations? Or, should it become a federal union, a “United States of Europe”?
 https://www.slideshare.net/ashabook/european-union-united-states-of-europe

 The European Union is a free association of sovereign states to further their shared aims.
 the Union has no current policy to create either a federation or a confederation if only "ever closer union" as
expressed in the Solemn Declaration on European Union.
 In fact, there are good prospects and geopolitical necessity for real union, political, social and economic.
 The member states of the European Union have many common policies within the European Union (EU):
 a common executive (the European Commission),
 a single High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy,
 a common European Security and Defence Policy,
 a supreme court (European Court of Justice – in matters of European Union law),
 a common euromarket, a common research area,
 a peacekeeping force (Eurofor), etc.
 According to Eurobarometer, 69% of citizens of the EU were in favour of direct elections of the President of
the European Commission; 46% were supporting the creation of a united EU army.
 Two thirds think that the EU should make decisions on foreign policy. More than half of respondents that the
EU should also make decisions on defense.
 Majority of respondents support the future development of the European Union as a federation of nation
states. A large majority of the people support the development of the EU into a federation of nation states
(56% versus 27%).
 The EU stands in need of a single development policy and strategy, a single constitution, a sin

 Will Europe still be able to conclude trade
deals and shape economic, social and
environmental standards for the world?
 Will Europe's economy finally recover or be
stuck in low growth and low inflation for
the next decade?
 Will Europe still be a world leader when it
comes to the fight for human rights and
fundamental values?
 Will Europe speak up, with one voice,
when territorial integrity is under threat, in
violation of international law?
 Or will Europe disappear from the
international scene and leave it to others

great many challenges, from globalisation, to the impact of new technologies on society and jobs,
to security concerns and the rise of populism
Europe must ensure it is not overwhelmed but rather seizes the opportunities that the global trends
present.
The white paper offers five scenarios for the Union's evolution, depending on the choices to make.
Together with the European Parliament and Member States, the EC is to host a series of “Future of
Europe Debates” involving Europe’s national Parliaments, cities and regions and civil society at
large.

 There are the three main challenges facing the European Union today:
  The devastating effects of the financial crisis undermining the European social model, a “highly
 Competitive Social Market Economy” (the Lisbon Treaty), throwing to insecurity, poverty and destitution
citizens and businesses, cities and States. This is leading to severe limitations to invest in technology and
infrastructures, as well as in human resources (healthcare and education, skills and upstarts), affecting the provision of basic
needs and social services. “The level of investment in the EU has fallen by 15% since 2007 (by around €430 billion) and
remains below its historical trend”. “…About €200 billion is needed to complete the trans-European energy networks, €540
billion needs to be invested in the trans-European transport network, and over € 250 billion in ICT for the period 2014-2020”.
  The increasing threats, risks and disruptions brought about by climate change to our regions and
cities. As major floods and droughts become ever more common, the environmental effects of rapid
urbanisation and the lack of adequate polices become extensively harmful.
  The demand for cohesion and inclusion, smart democracy, civic engagement and participation by
using social media and mobile technologies, and effective representation set forth by the constituencies.
The democratic deficit and indirect democracy is a cause for alarm for governance at any level, creating
distrust and alienation of citizens.
 These challenges call for a transformational change in the way we all work, live, play, study, interact, and build our future.
 First of all, a Social Europe Model in need of its essential redevelopment, by innovating a socially sustainable wealth and
income generation and distribution based on equality and equity and social justice, intellectual capital, talent, creativity, and
technology.
 Enriching and extending the policy goals of Europe 2020 and similar frameworks, the EU XXI PROJECT stresses that social and
technological innovations can make an invaluable contribution, if European development policies adequately consider citizens
and their innovation capacity the most valuable resource.
 Having the Union’s sustainability at its core, it aims to build on a new top brand and sense of belonging and identity, wellbeing
and community, to shape a better, resilient, interconnected, healthier, and happier dynamic smart society.
 In this crucial time and with the challenges stated, we reach out to our politicians, citizens and enterprises to join us in a broad
endeavor of co-creating the most appropriate strategies for the whole Union, each Member State and each of our cities, as
well as implementing them collectively in the years to come.

 The EU is going through a great economic, political and social crisis, and its
confronted by pressures that threaten fundamental change.
 The break-up of the eurozone is still possible, and the EU’s social fabric is
under major stress, resulting from growing inequalities and social
imbalances.
 Europe has become unequal and unbalanced, between people and member
states.
 The concept of “ European Solidarity” as well as the European project itself
are under doubts.
 Unequal Europe. Friends of Europe. Recommendations for a more caring EU, Final Report of the High-Lvel
Group on “Social Union”, Spring 2015
 The Project EU 2020 is marked by the inefficient public governments leading to Poor, Unequal, Weak,
Corrupted, Unfair Europe and Insecure Europe affected by crises and decay, decline and unemployment,
poverty and inequalities, misgovernments and corruption, refugees and terrorists.

 One of the five headline targets of the
Europe 2020 headline indicators is to reduce
poverty by lifting at least 20 million people out of
the risk of poverty or social exclusion (being below
the poverty threshold, in severe material
deprivation, and no work and income) by 2020.
 Main statistical findings show this target is badly
missing
 o 1.1 Children and active-age people more at
risk of poverty or social exclusion than elderly
people in several countries, see the Fig.1
 o 1.2 Income poverty: 17.0 % of the
population in the EU-28 at risk of income poverty
 o 1.3 Work intensity: 10.3 % of the
population in the EU-28 living in households with
very low work intensity
 o 1.4 Material deprivation: 9.9 % of the
population in the EU-28 severely materially
deprived
 o 1.5 Unexpected expenses: 40.2 % of the
population in the EU-28 could not afford
unexpected financial expenses
 In 2012, 124.2 million people, or 24.8 % (Figure 1)
of the population, in the EU-28 were
at risk of poverty or social exclusion (AROPE),
compared with 24.3 % in 2011.
 According to Eurostat, about 26 million children
were at risk of poverty and social exclusion in
2014, representing 27.7 per cent of all children in
the EU.
 Poverty or destitution refers to the deprivation of
basic human needs, and having no access to food,

 At its meeting in Brussels on 27 June 2014, the European Council agreed on five priority areas, together with
specific priorities and actions, to guide the EU's work over the next five years. This strategic agenda will be
used to plan the work of the European Council and also acts as a basis for the work programmes of other EU
institutions.
 1. Jobs, growth and competitiveness: the European Council outlines the need to encourage growth, increase
investments, create more and better jobs, and encourage reform to increase competitiveness.
 2. Empowering and protecting citizens
 The European Council highlights priorities that would unlock opportunities for EU citizens, as well as deal
with issues such as poverty and social exclusion.
 3. Energy and climate policies
 The European Council underlines the need to lower dependency on fuel and gas imports and to build
affordable, secure and sustainable energy within the EU.
 4. Freedom, security and justice
 The European Council emphasises the importance of good EU cooperation on security issues like terrorism
and managing migration flows.
 5. The EU as a strong global actor
 The European Council calls on the EU to ensure its strong engagement in world affairs, ... strengthening the
EU's common security and defence policy.
 Besides, the European Council has a key role to play in the EU's annual the European semester process, the
EU's yearly cycle of economic and fiscal policy coordination.
 Boosting investment is one of Europe's strategic priority areas and economic policy priorities for 2014-2019,
together with structural reforms and fiscal responsibility.
 “Strategic agenda for the Union in times of change”.

 Important issues facing Europe now: a global economic crisis; The CBE and States coming to the rescue of bankrupt
banks; mass immigration, unemployment, ageing populations threatening the competitiveness of our economies and the
sustainability of our social models; downward pressure on costs and wages; the climate change and increasing energy
dependence; the Eastward shift in the global distribution of production and savings; organized crime and the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction, and the acts of terrorism in global cities, as in Madrid, London, Moscow and Paris.
 Important issues to face Europe in 2030:
 economic situation, unemployment, crime, pension, the environment, healthcare system, immigration, prices/inflation,
terrorism, taxation, housing, education, defense/foreign affairs
 The EU’s common agenda: ensuring the sustainability of our social and economic model; and developing the means to support
and defend this model, along with our common values and interests, in the global arena.
 The EU must therefore implement without further delay the structural reforms,…
 This will require reforming the new strategy’s implementation mechanisms, by means of a more effective system of incentives,
to ensure that the objectives decided by the European Council and other European institutions are actually met.
 Human capital is the key strategic instrument for ensuring success in the global economy. Europe has lost considerable ground
in the race to a knowledge economy.
 In the coming years, the EU will need to pursue an ambitious agenda. It will need to bring the EU, its Member States and its
citizens closer together; renew Europe’s economic and social model at a time when internal and external forces challenge its
sustainability; strike the right balance between freedom and security; and contribute to shaping the world so that Europe’s
values and interests are safely taken care of.
 Looking to the 2030 horizon, Europeans will need a highly competitive and sustainable social market economy in order to
maintain social cohesion and fight against climate change.
 This will require an ambitious reform programme with clear priorities and much more effective enforcement mechanisms,….
 In this context, we assume that the Commission’s new Europe2020 strategy will form part of this major endeavour.
 PROJECT EUROPE 2030. Challenges and Opportunities. A report to the European Council by the Reflection
Group
 on the Future of the EU 2030, May 2010, EU

 We need a strong European Union like never before.
 It is what our citizens deserve and what the wider world expects. The European project which has brought
unprecedented peace, prosperity and democracy is being questioned.
 To the East, the European security order has been violated, while terrorism and violence plague North Africa
and the Middle East, as well as Europe itself.
 Yet these are also times of extraordinary opportunity.
 Global Growth, mobility, and technological progress – alongside our deepening partnerships- enable us to
thrive, and allow ever more people to escape poverty and live longer and freer lives.
 We will navigate this difficult, more connected contested and complex world guided by our shared interests
and principles.
 We will stand united in building a stronger Europe.
 http://europa.eu/globalstrategy/en/eu-global-strategy
 The political vision set out in the EUGS will be swiftly translated into concrete policy initiatives and action,
focused on the five priorities for the EU's external action identified in the strategy: strengthening security and
defence; investing in the resilience of states and societies to our East and South; developing an integrated
approach to conflicts and crises; promoting and supporting cooperative regional orders; and reinforcing a
global governance based on international law, including the principles of the UN Charter, and the Helsinki
Final Act.

priorities, such a Union is to emerge as an All-Sustainable Intelligent Europe consolidating:
 – Smart Europe: developing a smart (technology-centric) connected Union and its Member States, cities
and communities based on knowledge, research and innovation and intelligent digital solutions.
 – Green Europe: developing an eco-wise, resource efficient, green Union and its Member States, cities and
communities.
 – Inclusive Europe: developing a people-centered, intelligent Union and its Member States, cities and
communities as delivering economic, social and territorial cohesion and solidarity.
 The Smart Green Europe is aimed to turn the EU into a smart, green and inclusive Union delivering the most
innovative and developed Member States, cities and communities, distinguished with the smart living and
employment, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, sustainable competitiveness and productivity, and
social and territorial cohesion.
 The Smart Europe goal is to make European national communities and cities more sustainable, open,
innovative, smart and inclusive areas, thriving places attracting talents, quality jobs and smart economic
activities, "hubs of research and innovation" and social cohesion and cultural dialogue, social inclusion and
economic growth, and high quality of life while preserving environment and natural resources, cultural and
ecological inheritance for the next generations.

 1,200 economists of different positions called for the US Congress to introduce a system of basic income
guarantees, including Paul Samuelson, John Kenneth Galbraith and the winners of the Nobel Prize in
Economics, Herbert A. Simon, Friedrich Hayek, Robert Solow, Milton Friedman, Jan Tinbergen, James Tobin
and James Meade.
 A basic income guarantee (also, unconditional basic income, universal basic income, universal demogrant,
or citizen’s income) is a system of social security in which all citizens or residents of a country regularly
receive an unconditional sum of money, from a dedicated public institution, irrespective of income or other
eligibility criteria.
 The EU XXI proposes innovative basic income system (IBIS) as financed by the profits of publicly owned
enterprises (as Social dividend or Citizen's dividend) and through various forms of innovative social
investment taxation, ecological taxes, expenditure taxes, wealth taxes, reducing government, or out of
government social spending (< 30% GDP).
 The IBIS is a Universal Stabilization Mechanism marginalizing all existing social welfare and security
programs and welfare benefits, old-age, invalidity or survivor programs, medical care programs,
unemployment benefit programs, family allowance benefits, work-injury benefits, public assistance, etc.,
guaranteed minimum income to secure real economic equity.
 The simple cash transfer BIS pilots have been successfully conducted in United States and Canada,
Namibia, Iran, and India.
 In Europe, France, Netherlands and Finland are to start up some basic income pilots, while Switzerland is
to have a referendum in 2016.
 The IBIS is an innovative form of smart social security to equally protect al l citizens from the economic
risks and insecurities of life as income poverty and asset poverty becoming persistent and prevalent
among self-employed having no rights for most traditional welfare benefits, as unemployment benefits, and
being vulnerable to poverty while creating most jobs in Europe.
 The basic income distributed in three forms: smart securities, bonds, stocks and shares, 33%; cash
payments, 33%; basic needs and services, as education or utility payments, 33%; administrative taxes,
1%.
 The proposed equivalent amount could reach 2500 euro for each adult and 1000 euro for each child,
proportionally divided for investment, savings and consumption and administrative expenses.
 Being the next big social innovation, IBIS cures the diseases of social ills once and for all; it makes equal
opportunities; it liberates human energy and potential; it gives respect to all; it includes all; it eliminates

 As our world is getting interconnected, intelligent, instrumented, and innovative, we have to integrate our
transnational/national/regional/urban systems and networks, making our localities smarter, greener, intelligent and
sustainable.
 We have to coordinate, monitor and manage the communal spaces, functions, and agencies via centralized community
intelligence, as a single intelligent operations centre, a smart community command and control system, an integrated
intelligent digital community management platform, a core of digital intelligent environments, embedded in the framework of
future Europe communities, transnational, regional, national, urban or rural.
 The I-Europe Community Digital Platform is designed to model, understand, map, monitor, and manage the Pan-European
nexus of economic, environmental, geopolitical, technological, and societal risks: their nature, likelihood, impact, and the
strengths of interconnections, losses and cascading consequences, evolution and control, risk resilience tools, the new
vulnerabilities, as a new demography pattern, and “the trends to watch”, as emerging risks and disruptive technology risks,
smart cities, future internet, synthetic biology, 3-D printing, automated vehicles, etc.
 As a data base, the I-Europe Platform is digitizing the Global Risk 2014 Interconnections Map from the Global Risks reports and
the Global Risks Perceptions Survey systematically performed by the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Councils.
 As a knowledge base, the I-Europe Platform is relying on a Causal Interdependency or Interaction Network (CIN) or a
Causal Flow Network (CFN), in the form of a directed graph, cyclic or acyclic, nonhierarchical or hierarchical.
 As a logical base, the I-Europe Platform is relying on the Encyclopedic Intelligence digital paradigm, modeling the world of
entities and relations, where understanding, establishing or predicting basic relationships make the core of real and virtual
intelligence.
 The I-Europe Digital Platform is an Encyclopedic Intelligence development application, running on a dynamic causal network
interrelating as contextualized global risks in five leading categories, from economic to technological.
 The i-Europe Digital Platform could be cost-effectively deployed as an Intelligent InterCloud System (a Smart MetaCloud Europe,
or a SkyNet Europe), making an all-European Big Data collection and Knowledge Management System of flows of traffic,
energy, materials, information, processes, services, capital, financing, goods, people, and ideas.
 It is designed to operate as a centralized intelligent control and command center for state, region, city and community clouds,
thus enabling a Pan-European Network of intelligent Communities as an All-European Internet/Web of things, services,
knowledge, communities and citizens.

 Europe’s future depends on its Cities and Communities of tomorrow, which are key to the sustainable
development of the European Union as a smart green transnational community.
 European cities should be critical in the Union policies aiming to create growth, jobs and a sustainable
future, being centres of population and economic development, services, knowledge and creativity, as well
as the places of social polarization and inequalities, intercultural confrontations, poverty concentration,
unemployment and environmental problems.
 To secure the sustainable and smart development of cities, the EC launched the Smart Cities and
Communities Initiative in 2012 under the responsibility of the European Innovation Partnership and its 6
Action Clusters.
 The “Smart Green Europe” implies developing European Cities and Communities as being committed to an
overall sustainability, environmental, economic, social, geopolitical and technological, as guided by the
Smart Eco Life Philosophy.
 It will make key part of the EIP on Smart Cities and Communities Market Place implementing eco-smart
innovative actions, pilot projects and demonstration projects of EU significance., highlighting the territorial
corehency of urban and rural areas
 The “Smart Eco Europe” cities and communities will be developed/redeveloped as intelligent territorial
ecosystems of people interacting with the circular flows of information, energy, materials, services and
financing to catalyse intelligent sustainable development, resilience, and high quality of life; becoming eco
intelligent through strategic use of advanced information and communications infrastructure and services
in a process of integrated policy, regulations, planning and management as responsive to the ecological,
technological, cultural, social and economic needs of society.
 The i-Europe future cities and communities are to adopt an integrated, coherent and all-comprehensive
growth approach (across sectors, governance levels and territories) in their vision of the future (to strive
for), the foresight strategy (to get their), unified planning and coordinated development (to implement),
embracing the social, economic, environmental and territorial dimensions of urban, national and regional
development.
 The Investment Plan for Europe to support Smart Cities development projects are to involve the
committed municipalities and communities for
integrated smart territorial development of urban areas and rural regions : Italy (369);·Spain (267);·
France (82);·Portugal (65);·Germany (64);·Greece (62);·Romania (42);·Sweden (42);·United Kingdom (32);

 To proceed with the “Smart Green Europe” Investment Plan, we managed to select greenfield projects to
build smart green cities of the future ab novo, like prime land of 11.5 million square meters in Greece and
prime land of 400 acres in Cyprus, as the Members States most needing jobs and growth and smart Europe
solutions.
 As the project’s developers and promoters, we expect administrative, technical and financial support for
the Smart Green City Project in Greece, considering its high socio-economic value, high land value, EUR
575 million, replication capacity, uniqueness and riskiness, as well as for the Smart Green City
Development in Cyprus.
 Specifically, we are looking for EIB or EFSI financing (with the backing of the EU guarantee and/or EIF
guarantee) allowing the EIB to go beyond its usual business and make riskier investments.
 The Project is meeting the key criteria of Juncker’s Investment Plan and the EIB’s for smart cities
investment: 1) economically viable, (2) attractive on a global or local basis, (3) of European added value
and consistent with EU policy priorities, (4) attractive for private sector financing, (5) integrated,
innovative and inclusive.
 The Smart Greece Sustainable Real Estate Development Project is aimed to promote high quality jobs,
sustainable tourism, integrated urban and rural development, social cohesion, or smart, sustainable and
inclusive growth in Greece and beyond.
 The Smart Cyprus Model Development Project is aimed to promote high quality jobs, sustainable tourism,
health tourism, integrated urban and rural development, social cohesion, or smart, sustainable and
inclusive growth in Cyprus and beyond.
 Besides, both could be positioned as the most attractive strategic investment ideas to promote sustainable
development in coastal and marine areas in Europe and beyond.
 To launch the Projects, we are to apply for initial EFSI/EIB/JESSICA financing for its first stage: “smart
green city” feasibility study, master-plan and business plan (for the Greek Project) and for co-financing (up
to Euro 200 million) from Juncker’s Investment Plan.

 The Smart and Green Member States Investment Plan is aimed to realize the Union’s Strategy on the
national levels.
 As proposed in the Smart Nation Global Initiative, the Integrated Intelligent Nation Growth Strategy and
Implementation Plan of Sustainable Member State are to be developed, covering the key smart EU
stakeholders as below.
 • EU Member States
 Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland,

Ukraine.
 As the smart Member States pilots and demonstrators, live test-bed and living labs, it is considered two
largest European economies, as “Smart Germany” and “Smart Britain”, added with the smallest economy of
“Smart Eco Cyprus”.
 The Smart Eco Cyprus is to be as the best practice example for the European Member States under the
Investment Plan for Europe to develop sustainable national communities.
 The Smart Green Union of Member States Investment Idea could be validated by Singapore aiming to
become the world’s first intelligent nation, as reflected in its 2015-2025 Infocomm Media Masterplan.
 The Initiative is in line with the Smart Nations Global Initiative, aiming to apply integrated strategies and
planning, setting uniform standards and policy frameworks for developing sustainable and smart nations,
advancing the Post-2015 UN Global Development Agenda in the European Union.

 The EU faces a significant innovation gap lagging behind the US, China, and Japan, while R&D&I deliver quality jobs, prosperity
and quality of life. The i-Europe RIS is to infuse “intelligence” and unity into the EC Horizon 2020 Program by centralized
knowledge management and interconnecting its sections and components, “effecting excellence in the science base, tackling

should in my view be prioritised even more strongly than today,”
 Antonio Tajani, the new president of the European Parliament

 The Project EUROPE XXI is to embrace
 the policy priorities of the Commission of President Jean-Claude Juncker which is to
substantially contribute to the Jobs, Growth and Investment Package, the Digital Single Market,
Energy Union and Climate change policy, Internal Market with stronger industry and making
Europe a stronger global actor.
 the new Horizon Work Programme 2016-17 to be open to innovation, open to science, and open
to the world to improve the quality of Horizon 2020 funding. Specifically, it is cross-cutting
initiatives:
 “the modernisation of Europe's manufacturing industry (€1 billion); technologies and standards
for automatic driving (over €100 million); the Internet of Things (€139 million) to address
digitalisation of EU industries; Industry 2020 in the Circular Economy (€670 million) to develop
strong and sustainable economies; and Smart and Sustainable Cities (€232 million) to better
integrate environmental, transport, energy and digital networks in EU's urban environments”.

Forum Annual Meeting 2016, it’d prioritize funding the widely integrated solutions, innovation
and technologies that blurring the lines between the physical, digital, biological and socio-
economic spheres.

 In Europe, the power is divided among the European Council, representing national governments, and the European
Commission, acting as the European Government, as the executive, the European Parliament, the legislative, and the European
Court of Justice, the judiciary.
 The I-Europe Government Digital System is an open government platform coordinating fruitful interactions among the citizens,
civil society, national governments, the Commission, the Council, and the judiciary, as national courts of justice and the
European Court of Justice.
 Specifically, it is designed to monitor how the Commission performs its responsibilities as according the article 17 of the Treaty
on European Union: “develop medium-term strategies; draft legislation and arbitrate in the legislative process; represent the EU
in trade negotiations; make rules and regulations, for example in competition policy; draw up the budget of the European
Union; and to scrutinise the implementation of the treaties and legislation”.
 As a Direct Digital Democracy Open Government Platform, it gives the citizens and civil societies a decisive voice in defining the
EU strategies, policies, rules and regulations, and politically critical appointments:
 the President of the European Council, the President of the European Commission, the High Representative of the Union for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and the President of the European Central Bank, virtually electing the MEPs according to a
uniform voting system. In a close future, the national parliaments are to become redundant, while the Smart Union’s
Parliament is to take responsibilities over safety and security, health, education, housing, law & order and defence, as well as
environmental standards, consumer protection, trade, employment law, etc.
 The necessity of the i-Government Digital Systems is caused by a top political risk: “unresponsive, unaccountable, inefficient,
and ineffective bureaucracies seem impossible to change with the current tools in place, requiring a new approach, called
citizen-centered reform model”. The World Bank.
