Although born in the EU, the open community platform has been promoting international markets in the last years, such as Fiware technologies and cooperation of Indian companies, universities and clusters with relevant counterparts.
Smart Cities Lab addresses the specific challenges of metropolitan societies and provides well defined solutions to relieve the challenges of multi-stakeholders. It is committed to OpenSource in general, specifically to Fiware as technology agnostic platform and API´s.
Vision
Smart Cities Lab’ vision is inclined to making life easier for cities, citizens and everyone through an ecosystem in which it is possible to develop citizen-centered sustainable solutions. These solutions include:
- make available the much-needed technical support that would integrate and/or replace the old-fashioned ICT solutions currently deployed in silos;
- provide an open technical environment that would encourage further innovation in city stakeholder clusters, and
- put the citizen first – by providing systems, enabling environments and citizen-oriented services, while supporting administration processes in city governments.
Approach
The Smart Cities Lab initiative is a digital infrastructural and innovative project that involves different aspects of the city, and can only grow further, with a strong conviction, stakeholders, clusters, city government and citizens come together with the unified idea of a programmable city.
