Join us in building the European way of Digital Transformation for 300 million Europeans
In times when cities and communities are looking to digital solutions to tackle a growing range of interconnected challenges, we must boost these efforts through a ‘European Way’ where digital solutions help to create places where people enjoy living and working.
Digital solutions are broad and include approaches to smart urban mobility, energy efficiency, sustainable housing, digital public services, and civic-led governance. Large-scale uptake and upscale of these solutions are crucial to help our cities and communities meet their climate targets and reduce their environmental footprint, while fostering citizen participation and bringing prosperity to all types of business, including SMEs and start-ups.
Through co-creation with citizens, we aim to bring the economic and social benefits of this transformation to all local communities and implement an inclusive digital Europe, with powerful digital services, technologies, infrastructures and skills.

Urban Data Platform
The beating heart of the urban digital transformation
Participating
26 membersLocal Data Spaces
Cities and communities are in a unique position as they can be both providers and consumers of data and services. Hence, they have the potential to bring together a wide range of information in a harmonised manner to provide intelligence, and ultimately improve the delivery of services and quality of life for citizens and communities.
Participating
1 memberCitizen Card
European cities are working to make life easier for their residents and Europeans more broadly. Finished the dozen different cards and procedures to access city services, one card – and/or app – will give people simple direct and personalised access to many different services within their own city – from using public transport to visiting a zoo, the local library or accessing social benefits.
Participating
6 membersCitizen-centric 'smart culture'
Can an Arts & Technology festival add a technological experience to truly innovate culture? That was the starting question of this project.
Participating
2 membersDigital Neighbourhood Instrument
According to data 169 million EU citizens lack even basic digital skills. This accounts for 44% of Europeans between the ages of 16-74. Lack of access to digital services as well as lack of awareness of digital possibilities have major impact on the digital divide, resulting in social divide.
Participating
11 membersLocal Digital Twin
This group aims to build a community of like-minded cities, working on local digital twins. The group will discuss the concept, bring forward concrete use cases from around the EU and then explore why cities would be interested in using local digital twins.
