New Cities

We have created an urban innovation prototype service which supports systematic experimentation in an inclusive manner – bringing together the knowledge of different stakeholders (municipality, service providers, companies, academia, citizens, etc).

The service incorporates a framework of tested experimentation management, data discovery, a technical environment, inclusive co-creation, engagement, legal and ethics.

It serves as a resilient form of pre-commercial experimentation: allowing to shape products and services which fit the needs of cities.

The service framework empowers people to be active in the development of solutions to tackle their local issues.

OrganiCities use interoperable standards which allow experimental solutions to scale beyond one city and to help avoiding vendor lock-in.

We embody an open and connected culture to enable learnings to flow from city to city, from one experiment to the next.

OrganiCity focuses on making interoperable and homogeneous the near real-time data from different sources and different readiness levels – this is crucial to deal with the evolving state of Internet of Things and in order to expand the practice of experimentation at scale.

OrganiCity offers a best-practice approach to bridging the gaps between authorities, citizens and developers in the digital transformation of cities.

If you are interested in Experimentation as a Service, we encourage you to host an OrganiCity Clinic to encourage citizens and companies in your city to submit applications for experiments. During this process, you will be able to guide experimenters to create value for your city and its citizens.

• To meet people from your region who are interested in Internet of Things, Open Data, Smart City experiments and co-creation.
• To encourage real use cases for your data store.
• To foster activities in these areas by giving public administration support.
• To present the challenges of the city and inspire potential experimenters to work with them.
• To increase the chances of experiments getting funded by OrganiCity in your city, helping the companies and entrepreneurs of your local area benefiting from funding and support.

To support you in this process we have created the “Guide to host a Clinic”.

Let us know when and where you will be hosting a clinic: we want to spread the word.
