Smart Projects and Demonstrators in Cork Smart Projects and Demonstrators in Cork Innovating/Creating/Connecting About the Cork Smart Gateway: A smart agenda is being developed in Cork which builds on the existing assets, attributes and experiences in the region and will help posi- tion Cork as a ‘World-Class Smart Region’. The Cork Smart Gateway was established by Cork City Council, Cork County Council, Nimbus Re- search Centre and Tyndall National Institute to pursue and facilitate the delivery of this agenda. Vision: The Cork Smart Gateway aims to enhance the reputation of Cork as an attractive region for people to live, work, visit and invest. Objectives: The Cork Smart Gateway will achieve this vision by: Engaging with citizens to identify the evolv- ing challenges and opportunities that impact on their quality of life Identifying suitable and achievable smart projects through a collaborative multi stake- holder approach Encouraging an open and innovation ecosys- tem that supports industry through the fa- cilitation of test beds to pilot new technologies Introduction This brochure contains a collection of 17 snapshots of key smart dem- onstrators, projects and test beds from the Cork Region. The goal of this brochure is to disseminate concise information about these smart demonstrators to interested stakeholders in industry, academia, public organisations and also to Cork citizens. This brochure provides a web link and contact details for each item to enable the reader to easily get more information. Projects Included: 1. Water Systems and Services Innovation Centre 2.

WSSIC is a centre for applied research and technological innovation for Irish water sector companies. WSSIC helps compa- nies make innovative ‘smart’ water systems, turning ideas for new water-sector products and services into reality, for increased sales, jobs and exports. It helps companies raise innovation funding and pro- vides access to the powerful skills of the Nimbus Team and CIT’s resources. Through its international connections and collaborations, WSSIC actively pro- motes Irish water-sector companies and services overseas. Since it was established in 2013, WISSIC has com- pleted 35 projects; a few examples are described below: Hydrolight Ltd: WSSIC has carried out 3 projects with this innovative Cork based start-up company. They have patented a new water-sensor technology that has been developed in partnership with WSSIC and Cambridge University.

Intel Ireland: In collaboration with Intel, WSSIC WSSIC, developed and deployed a water-quality monitoring Nimbus Centre, CIT, instrument platform, incorporating Intel electronic Cork components, which has been independently working on the River Liffey since January 2016. The Mallow Systems Innovation Centre The Mallow Systems Innovation Centre is a re- source and innovation centre promising far reaching technological, economic and educa- tional dividends for Mallow and the wider North Cork area. The Centre is a unique collaboration between the local community, Cork County Council, the Mallow Development Partnership (MDP) and Cork Institute of Technology (CIT). Developed in 2012, the Mallow Systems Innova- tion centre was the first centre of its kind in Ire- land and has resulted in a critical mass of tech- nology related activity in the North Cork town as a consequence of the collaboration between the Centre, local companies and educational facili- ties. The centre formally established Mallow as a des- ignated field trial site for research projects being undertaken at CIT and it offers an opportunity for innovative companies to come to Mallow for Contact: both testing and commercialisation phases of Brian Cahill new products and services.

National Sustainable Building Energy Test bed Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) in partnership with United Technologies Research Centre Ire- land Ltd (UTRC-I). UTRC-I manage the “National Sustainable Building Energy Test bed” (NSBET) located in CIT’s Nimbus Centre.

They are conduct- ing research related to whole building energy and power management to capture retrofit op- portunities that scale from a single building to multiple buildings at district level. This collaborative project creates a whole- building energy and power management tech- nology demonstrator within the Nimbus building scalable to a district or campus level. The test bed is a strategic resource for the Institute and a platform for CIT from which it can develop new, industry-focused, research which in turn informs new curricula across the Faculty of Sci- ence and Engineering.

  • Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy Consultation June 2019
    Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy Consultation June 2019 Introduction The Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) is absolutely welcomed by Cork Chamber. It complements Ireland 2040 and the unique position of Cork within national strategic and capital planning as the fastest growing city region in Ireland. The delivery of transport infrastructure is a core priority of Cork Chamber members. In many respects, alongside the provision of accommodation, public and sustainable transport will be the defining enabler of the future prosperity and quality of life for the people of Cork. In equal measure, failure to deliver will be an acute inhibitor of progress. In this submission we set out the views of Cork Chamber which represents 1,200 members who together employ 100,000 people living, working, commuting and travelling in the metropolitan area. Statutory Basis & 2040 Alignment It is essential that this transformative strategy is placed on a firm statutory footing to ensure delivery, supported by transparent timelines and clear funding commitments. Due to the absolute alignment of Ireland 2040, and the opportunity to further endorse the statutory footing of Ireland 2040, as well as to ensure parity with other planning instruments and statutory plans (such as the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy and City & County development plans), it is essential that this step is taken, or the intent and delivery of CMATS could be undermined. Key recommendations/ Areas for further investigation: CMATS must be based on statutory footing. Cork Based Delivery In recognition of Cork’s positioning within Ireland 2040, we believe the establishment of a permanent National Transport Authority office in Cork is required to focus on the implementation of CMATS.
