Launch of Living-in.eu platform to accelerate the European way of living through digital transformation

The living-in.eu platform was launched during the CITYxCITY Festival and creates the conditions to upscale digital solutions based on iconic projects.

Living-in.eu​ ​is a bottom-up movement which has the ambition to have a positive impact on the quality of life of at least 300 million European citizens by 2025. The initiative is a cooperation of Eurocities,  Open & Agile Smart Cities (OASC),  European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) and is supported by the European Commission and the European Committee of the Regions. 

The platform will enable Cities & Regions to work together on ​​​​societal challenges with the help of digital solutions. Through iconic projects, such as Urban Digital Twins, the Citizen Card and Urban Data Platforms, cities & regions are able to develop and implement the solution on a local level.

The movement was born a year ago when the declaration Join, Boost, Sustain  was launched as a result of the 2019 Finnish presidency of the European Union. The movement anticipates on the ambitions to become the Union that strives for more  by focusing on the challenge of large cross border implementation and upscaling. Through the platform the conditions are created to help cities & regions scale fast based on common principles, technologies & standards.
