At FinEst Centre, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that cities face in today’s rapidly evolving environment.

The smart city team at RISE primarily focuses on developing the "soft digital infrastructure" in the cities to build technical and organisational capacity to the extent that they can “own” (become data holder), handle and share data. Specifically they work with the MIMs; the information classification tool KLASSA owned by SALAR; guidelines for procurement of IoT systems (called RefARK); and various organisational processes and tools.
