Approach

SELECT for Cities is a European project that aims to develop an open, standardized, data-driven, and user-centric platform for European cities, with the common challenge to develop “cities as large-scale Internet of Everything labs”.
The solution we provided is called City Enabler, a city oriented customization of our proprietary solution "Digital Enabler", and it has been used to build use cases for the City of Antwerp and the City of Helsinki.
