Through an innovative legal instrument, the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (“EDIC”), EU Member States can now work closer together in steering the implementation and use of digital technologies. The recently established EDIC “Networked Local Digital Twins Towards the CitiVerse” will drive innovation to local and regional environments throughout the EU by adopting cutting-edge AI-based technologies. This Pre-launch session will provide participants with information and the opportunity to exchange ideas on the EDIC development.

We’ll look into the strategies, processes and technologies that can help cities to do that.

During our second meeting of the year, we will delve into exciting developments from our sister project, CommuniCity.The toolkit developed through this initiative will be showcased and participants will be engaged in a collaborative session to identify hindering and enabling factors during open calls and piloting.
