“Kythnos Smart Island” is one of the biggest research and development projects implemented in the Greek islands, and as such represents a lighthouse project both for Greece and the international community. Thanks to “Kythnos Smart Island” project Kythnos becomes a living lab, not only for clean energy, smart grids and energy efficiency, but also for the coupling of energy with water, waste and mobility management solutions. while in parallel smartening existing port facilities and delivering extensive urban regenerations of public spaces and retrofitting and reuse of the municipal building stock and buildings of cultural heritage. The project demonstrates the potential of islands to deliver integrated interventions for the local infrastructure that, while contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation, will enable, by extending its tourism season and strengthening the interdependencies and symbiosis among economic activities, the transition to a diverse, circular and sustainable economy. For doing so the project foresees the active involvement and engagement of the local community and entrepreneurship which will be a catalyst for its successful implementation but also for the sustainability of its impact. Eventually, “Kythnos Smart Island” constitutes a local development vision and strategy for the local municipality bridging the integrated, smart and efficient infrastructure management with local economic development all while creating a unique identity as green destination. "Kythnos Smart Island" project is being realized as part of a broader initiative taking place at EU level, the Smart Islands Initiative, which is coordinated by DAFNI Network and portrays islands as ideal test-beds that can host pilot projects and produce knowledge on smart and efficient resource and infrastructure management.
