SynchroniCity represents the first attempt to deliver a Single Digital City Market for Europe by piloting its foundations at scale in 8 European reference zones, XX partners from XX countries, and XX follower cities, encompassing altogether XX countries over 4 continents. It builds upon a mature European knowledge base derived from initiatives such as OASC, FIWARE, FIRE, EIP-SCC, and includes partners with leading roles in standardization bodies, such as the ITU, ETSI, IEEE, OMA, IETF to deliver a harmonized eco-system for IoT enabled smart city solutions where IoT device manufacturers, system integrators and solution providers can innovate and openly compete.
Synchornicity will establish a standardised reference architecture for the envisioned IoT-enabled city market place with identified interoperability points and interfaces, data models for different verticals in the smart city. This will includes tools for co-creation & integration of legacy platforms & IoT devices for urban services and enablers for data discovery, access and data licensing that lower the barriers for participation on the market. SynchroniCity will pilot these foundations in the established reference zones together with a set of citizen-centred services in three high-impact areas, showing the value to participating cities, businesses and European citizens involved, linked directly to the global market. They will serve as light-house initiatives to inspire others to become part of the established ecosystem and contribute to the emerging market place. SynchroniCity takes an inclusive approach to grow the ecosystem by inviting other European businesses and cities to join through an open call, allowing SMEs to participate on the pioneering market place and enable a second wave of successful pilots during the project lifetime. They will strengthen the ecosystem by creating a positive ripple effect throughout Europe, and globally, to establish sufficient momentum and critical mass for a strong European presence in a global digital single market of IoT-enabled solutions.
