  • Demonstrator:
    It is intended to develop 5 Demonstrators in the cities of Porto, Aveiro, Guimarães, Famalicão and Cascais, in order to validate the functioning of at least 21 new products, processes and services, resulting from the research and technological development and innovation activities of the project CityCatalyst.

Objectives

  • The project is structured in 5 main lines of R&D, pioneers in the view of Smart Cities
    and Sustainable, which will be developed in a consortium, over 36 months:

    1) Infrastructures for sensing, communication and computational processing;
    2) Information security and privacy;
    3) Data models and interfaces;
    4) Open innovation and co-creation processes for the competitiveness of smart cities;
    5) Development of systems that promote sustainability in cities.
