The Open Cities App Challenge brings together two important themes of the smart city: open data and sensor networks. As part of the Open Cities project the Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS and the University Pompeu Fabra have created a data platform for developers to create services based on the data, which the cities provide.
This call is open to all developers and organizations with innovative products or services that:
- are innovative,
- use open data,
- solve a real problem in citizens' every day urban life.
For more information on prizes, timelines and a guide to Open Data check out the App Challenge section on the Open Cities project.
