The Urban Platform provides cities’ decision-makers with a holistic view of the smart urban environment. By digitising public authorities’ data and providing it through KPIs and visual analytics, this solution monitors the necessary parameters to achieve the pre-established UN SDGs by considering the Sustainable Cities and Communities Indicators from ISO 37120 and 37122. The platform integrates citizens engagement and co-creation approaches and solutions by giving access to information about the city and the performance at the SDGs level. On the other hand, it allows them to contribute with inputs, such as reporting occurrences, which increases the efficiency in identifying events and solving them and allows citizens to participate in the city's development. Additionally, the platform can provide sustainable solutions to diverse scopes, such as implementing novel solutions for circular economy and promoting sustainable events through digital and decentralised marketplaces.

In many developed or developing countries, the rapid increase in the sales of vehicles has led to problems such as limited car parking facilities and traffic, along with improper management of parking spaces. Finding vacant spaces during peak hours has become a tough challenge for many drivers.
Our Smart Parking solution aims to solve this problem by bringing together all aspects of both on and off-street parking management technology into one integrated system, from sensor-based vehicle detection, communication gateway, digital parking panels, kiosks for payments, mobile applications for drivers and an efficient parking management system.
These technologies decrease the amount of time spent by users searching for vacant parking slots and automates the process of searching for the optimal parking spot, therefore consisting of a parking management solution which collects key performance indicators in real-time and translates them into knowledge for better policy and optimised management.

In the last decades, we observed that deforestation and environmental degradation are causing the natural world and social well-being. Treedom started with the founders’ experiences in rural development projects and their desire to reverse a recent dangerous trend common to many indigenous populations in the developing countries: “selling out” areas of forest to wood and agricultural industries. Consequences are the loss of habitat, desertification, soil deterioration, more significant amounts of greenhouse gases, displacement of local communities and their traditional way of life and income sources. Treedom created, in 2010, the first platform worldwide that allows consumers and corporations to plant and follow the story of the forestry project online, directly financing NGOs that support farmers around the world. Since its foundation in Treedom has introduced innovation and transparency in a traditionally charitable sector, taking old-fashioned concepts and transforming a good deed into a modern tool of communication and engagement. It pursues its mission of greening the planet by making trees “adoption” fun and engaging with a great degree of transparency. Thanks to its business model it finances rural cooperatives and local NGOs to organize the tree planting operations. These organizations receive resources and training and are in charge of managing local operations and beneficiaries farmers, these always maintain the property on trees and their products. Since 2010 more than 3 million trees have been planted in 17countries, supporting 177,000 farmers. Treedom works with more than 8,000 corporate clients and 985,000 users. Treedom's impact is also testified by its certification as a B Corp since 2014 and its adhesion to the UN Global Compact since 2012. Moreover, in 2016, it was registered as an innovative SME and became a benefit company in 202 VIDEO: https://youtu.be/x4GOuZK2NmQ

We developed a complete disaster search and rescue system (DSAR) involving a domestic sensor device, just like a smoke/gas detector, to detect home occupancy and surviving victims under rubble, if the building has collapsed, after an earthquake or a similar disaster. Based on our edge-computing sensor platform and AI based advanced signal processing and computer vision algorithms, the system can detect survivors using acoustic, vibration and image/video signals.

DSAR continuously conveys information to authorities through wireless channels so that resources can be organized rapidly. The registered users can communicate their status, get information and receive directives through the developed mobile app. Furthermore, DSAR can assess the earthquake risk of buildings before a disaster in a structural health monitoring sense through real-time vibration analysis and can provide information on the damage status of buildings after a disaster.

The kulTura project is a local example of good practice in the field of revitalising and experiencing cultural heritage (also) through digitisation. The main objective of the project, which is being implemented by the University of Ljubljana (a collaboration between the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture), is to connect, through mobile technology, border towns and communities whose cultural heritage is otherwise less known due to their small size and inaccessibility. In this context, the KulTura mobile app has been designed to guide users to points of interest of cultural heritage (for now in the Croatian town of Jastrebarsko and the Slovenian town of Črnomelj) through imaginative stories. The basic story introduces the user to the history of the town, spiced with some narrative freedom and visual enhancements, and then, at each point of cultural heritage interest, presents the user with a challenge which, if solved correctly, rewards the user with certain benefits from local providers (food, drink, accommodation, tourist experiences, etc.).The great advantage of the app is that it is designed to involve all towns and communities with interesting stories and heritage sites that otherwise remain less visited. The app also includes augmented reality (AR) functionalities to provide a modern experience of cultural heritage.
As the app is developed in collaboration with the local communities involved, it is tailored to the users and the communities, which also connect and get to know each other in this way.

Rural localities need to digitally project their area as vibrant and attractive locations in which innovation-driven SMEs can thrive. Most rural communities know they have a problem but feel dis-empowered and unclear what they can do “under their own steam” to grow. Traditional enterprise coworking hubs across the EU do not have the capacity and capability to harness the huge potential offered by the world-wide phenomenon of remote digital working.

DigitalHQ believes there is the potential to use digital tools and frameworks to create a completely new way to deliver rural repopulation! For the past 5 years DigitalHQ has fine tuned a model for attracting investment, remote workers, home buyers and shoppers to rural communities. We call this model "Digital First Communities".

‘Digital First Communities’ use digital tools, platforms and frameworks with their local digital growth hub as their rallying point and their smartphone as their ally. The benefits of ’Digital First Communities’ include increased footfall, lower property vacancies, high quality of life and new sustainable jobs.

Our model for the digitalisation of localities has been endorsed by Placemaking Europe, the .IE Domain Registry and the European DIGITALSME Alliance.

The concept of the solution is to leverage public transportation as an inexpensive way of ensuring cheap connectivity for city-wide sensors. It equips a vehicle network (buses, trams, etc.) with Intelligent Gateways which collect data from sensors (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LPWAN as LoRa or 6LowPAN) installed around the city. The data is then pre-processed locally and sent to a Central Service Platform for further processing and visualisation. The Intelligent Gateways can be used as well by transport companies to offer content (videos, music, touristic information) to passengers.

The city of Geneva needed to replace their old digital collaboration tools with more modern ones to facilitate productivity across the many departments, buildings and with external organizations. Email was just not efficient for that purpose. Data had to be kept strictly in Switzerland, the system had to be secure and privacy-compliant, work with large data and be reliable even if the vendor of the product was sold or went out of business. Nextcloud was deployed in a private cloud for 4500 employees, storing about 1.2TB of data. Remote work is made possible with the mobile clients. Deck (Kanban), Calendar, Contacts and Talk (video chat) features of Nextcloud are being tested as next step. This is just one example - dozens of other cities from Paris to Largo (in Florida, USA), German, French, Swedish and Dutch Federal Government agencies, hospitals, universities and many more use Nextcloud for similar reasons and in similar ways.

Problem; Digitalization has created millions of digital teams worldwide (30M of them by 2023 according to Amazon data) that have become the backbone of today’s companies. These digital teams are managing hundreds of external systems that are vital for the daily business operations. They are literally drowning under the quantity of passwords that are necessary to manage these systems.

Some of these passwords could compromise the entire organisation if they were to fall into the wrong hands. Yet most of the time they are stored in clear in excel sheets and exchanged by emails. These poor password management practices introduce severe security breaches and compliance issues. According to the FBI: “80% of data breaches are due to poor password management policies.”
Moreover, due to a large quantity of passwords not being centralized nor organized, collaborators waste time finding the passwords they need and it represents a productivity issue. According to Gartner: 125 million hours of productivity are lost due to password management problems, e.g. around 160 EUR per person per year.
Existing password managers are mostly designed either for the consumer market or for pyramidal types of organizations and are not aligned with the specific needs of modern agile teams.

Solution: Passbolt improves productivity and security for DevOps teams by providing a 360 degrees solution that is fully aligned with their needs, values and technical preferences.
Passbolt reinvents enterprise password management the same way slack reinvented enterprise messaging. It is different because it available on-premise, provides better collaboration, unprecedented security, deeper interoperability and unmatched control. It is disruptive because its unique approach to password management is rooted in the DevOps culture while other solutions are generic.

In a few years only Passbolt has positioned itself as a popular password manager for DevOps teams. The solution is already used by over 100,000 daily active users and 10,000 organizations worldwide, including CISCO, Renault Nissan Mitsubishi, the German police and many other governmental institutions.

Our aim is to become the de-facto password manager for agile and DevOps teams, and be used by millions of teams worldwide.

Our company with our commercial name HC Technologies has designed a super flex device for working in wireless projects to read meters, sensors and signals.

Working in Electronics from 2006 in Europe and USA, we knew that every customer and every project needs a different hardware and typically also a different firmware. We have then designed a flexible device with Sigfox connections that do not need any Gateway or extra nodes,

It can be powered with 2 AA batteries like a radio, a packet of 4 batteries, 6-25V DC power with internal backup battery, 110-230VAC 50/60Hz or from solar panels. Our device can read water, electricity and gas meters, and as it has up to 4 different inputs, it can read up to 3 meters + 1 on/off sensor. But the device can be configured to read on/off sensors and send alarms when the input change. Our customers are using it to check if there is power in different places, check if any machine, water solutions, etc. are working ok or not. We can then check if a manual valve is opened or close. It can send an alarm if the water level into manholes is over a limit.

But not only this, the device can be also configure to read external sensors such as temperature, moisture, air quality, gases, distance, leak, etc. With those solutions, we can read the water distance in rivers, channels and manholes, check the temperature, moisture and air quality into housings, detect leaks in houses, factories etc. And we can add up to 2 diffeent limits to send alarms when the signales are over or below the limits. And using a solar panel and our special solar charger we have designed, we work also in projects in fish farms, water quality projects reading OD, PH, ORP, EC etc... of water.

As we know that into a city, there are a lot of places where there is not coverage for any technology, our device can work with internal antennas, external antennas, flat antennas or with external antennas connected to cables up to 10 m.

In 2021 we have designed a new device that includes an internal relay to control lights, machines, valves etc. We are working with it in smart cities to activate heaters, lights, etc.

Now the market for wireless systems is very big. We do not work for B2C, but only for B2B, and working with all our customers around the world and studying what they need, we know that today, for cities, industrials customers, etc... flexible devices are the best solution to not pay extra design cost when they need something differnet that what they can find in the market and wait months for having a solution (cost).

You can visit our website www.hc-technologies.com where you can find all our solutions for different markets including smart cities, etc.

Every municipality is usually already equipped with a wide range of devices and sensors, but the results of all these technologies is almost wasted so far, as they become a huge amount of unrelated data, too complicated to process, which turns out to be a significant waste of time, money, and resources.
Therefore, what they require is a technological system that guarantees an efficient collection and management of city data, with the integration of IoT services and technologies, a decision support system and other tools to promote the active participation of citizens. Most importantly, the goal is to have a digital infrastructure capable of integrating the technologies already implemented in the municipality, making them more efficient and useful for all the stakeholders involved in the public sector (professionals, workers, citizens).
This is the framework in which we have developed the product WiseTown, acronym for Web Information Streams Enhancer for your Town. It is a middleware solution that processes and analyzes a large amount of data, giving then back to the operators only the information useful to solve a specific issue. It is an infrastructure which is highly modular, interoperable, cloud open-source, that uses the most advanced FIWARE technologies, so that cities can adhere to the most innovative European standards, as well as increasing their safety, inclusivity, sustainability.

The Smart Parking solution leverages the information coming from the private parking sites, as well as the information coming from the expenders of the Regulated Parking Zones in the city centre. Moreover, this information is the corner stone for building a new recommendation service of smart parking for the citizens. So, the user can specify their destination area together with the expected hour and the recommendation service will provide the area and parking site more likely to has free parking spots, reducing therefore the amount of time spent for such a daily task.
To achieve that, we leverage the information sharing from the MiMurcia FIWARE-based platform in which OdinS participate during its development in order to integrate data from different urban services about the city of Murcia. Nowadays, the MiMurcia platform includes data about incidences, climatic conditions, energy consumption and generation, traffic, parking areas, and public transport. One of the data models used to get data about bicycle parking spots is included as reference.
The smart parking solution based on IoT and AI technologies can solve this urban challenge through the use of a multimodal approach to encourage the usage of public and green transport through an efficient access to either the city centre or strategic points nearby it. To cope with such objective, a smart city solution could provide a two-tier trip. In the first tier the system would collect occupancy data from indoor and outdoor parking areas, which would be processed in order to recommend itineraries to a point to where left the car. From here, in the second tier, the system would provide a chain of public transport stops or bike sharing spots, which would be used to finally reach the destination. This solution would diminish traffic jams in the city centre, at the same time greener and healthy transport means would be promoted among the population.
This applicant will focus on solving the urban challenge by extending and improving the smart parking solution developed in the H2020 IoTCrawler project for persons with reduced mobility to achieve a pre-commercial solution in TRL7-8. To do that, we plan the following main tasks:
- Co-creation and co-design of a novel smart parking solution for reduced mobility.
- Development and integration using IoT and AI technologies.
- Demonstration and validation in a real-world scenario in Murcia city.
- Initializing the communication and dissemination by showcasing the Murcia pilot
- Definition of potential business exploitation, market introduction & public-private partnership.

A lot of food and grocery products are sensitive to environmental conditions. Currently, there’s no easy way to verifiably observe them, as existing solutions are fixed, expensive, and not adaptable for granular and monitoring on-demand situations, such as for last-mile deliveries that are exploding in popularity. We utilize the latest IoT technologies in combination with software tools to help companies leverage their supply chain data to extract additional value and enable use cases in other domains. Our IoT sensor devices weigh 85 grams and fit un your hand. 100% wireless and mobile solution with a long-lasting battery life that can provide real-time data. Our devices are capable of providing verifiable measurements (yes, we use blockchain technology for this), and because these measurements can be trusted, the data can be fed into other systems. So our goal is to provide a backbone and "single source of truth" to enable industry 4.0 use cases and automatization on a grander scale. We have launched pilot projects and also onboarded our first customers. Here is the pitch from our Techstars demo day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dpsrv5sh_Q

The challenge for sustainability must be met in cities (75% of the world's population will live in urban areas in 2030) with data-driven planning and action models. Building models of analysis in urban areas is complex because it is complex to retrieve multi-parameter and multi-temporal data. Latitudo40 offers an innovative Urban Data Platform that uses Satellite data and Artificial Intelligence to create an environmental digital twin of the city and its three-dimensional representation to analyse the scenario's evolution (urbanisation, green areas, heat islands, population concentration, Urban Quality, Cooling capacity and Co2 sequestration). The collected data are transformed into urban qualitative indexes, comparable within the city or with other cities. A powerful tool to dene evolution KPIs and monitor the achievement of objectives of each single planning activity

Climate change is making water resources ever more discontinuous and unpredictable, with increasing periods of droughts. This situation is particularly evident in Mediterranean climates and, in general, in regions where the water sourcing relies on rivers and reservoirs. We have developed a technology capable of monitoring and modeling the water cycle at catchment scale, i.e. to digitally reproduce the physical processes responsible for water availability. This is particularly beneficial for Water Utilities that need to manage reservoirs and to make sure that the water will be available for civil and agricultural use. With our solution, we want to provide: a) forecast services of the water inflow that reach the reservoirs in order to predict drought events; b) a tool to manage the reservoirs, capable of simulating reservoir level evolution according to simulated forecast scenarios and taking into account withdrawals or inputs from human activities.
"Manage the unavoidable, avoid the unmanageable": with our solution drought events will be better managed, reducing harsh consequences for activities relying on water.

upandbike is a new system to create net of available parking for bikes across the city by means of automatic elevated stations. The stations are elevated, smart automatic and safe. They allow the optimization of urban space to ease individual mobility and make it more sustainable. As they are elevated, the surface below the bike parking is free and can be reused for other purposes such as kiosks, bus stop, subway entrance or last-mile delivery hub, among others. The main purpose is to provide door-2-door availability to micro-mobility while solving the lack of safe parking and also freeing up the streets of the current chaos that bad parked bikes suppose.
Our cities are increasingly polluted and must always find ways to reduce pollution, eliminate our carbon footprint and slow down climate change as much as possible. As we take all this seriously, we wanted to contribute our granite to society. A greater use of the bike means more decarbonized cities. The solar cells installed in the upandbike also contribute to the environmental impact. These are connected to the main energy lines and produce more energy than consumed as the available surface is quite big. Also, we apply a photocatalytic treatment to each of our bike parkings to function as a passive decontamination element within the city.
Photocatalysis is a chemical process that, among other things, transforms pollutants into non-polluting elements in presence of UV radiation (sunlight). It also kills virus and bacteria, creating a self-desinfecting surface. The result is that each upandbike decontaminates about 87,000 g of NOx/year, which is equivalent to what 435 adult trees decontaminate in one year or 93 euro 5 cars emit in one year as well. In the end, what we contribute more than a granite is an excellent result in decontamination levels thanks to this treatment.

How to communicate online about sensitive, confidential or other important things? Smart also means secure, privacy-preserving, safe and resilient; in other words: trusted and trustworthy. Not only internally within one department of a municipality, but also interdepartemental, cross-organisational, cross-communal, cross-regional, cross-functional, cross-sectorial and cross-national. Urban (and Rural) Society does not stop at the border of a municipality, and does not only consist of the municipality; it is an ecosystem, a hyperconnected kosmos. Smart Societies and Communities have continous cross-over needs, that are not solved by using either military grade communication systems, or commercial communication platforms with a focus on profitability and that have ever changing business models.

NTF Platform, high secure communication, offers high secure mobile & live meetings: audio, video and screen sharing, with all the cross-department, cross-sectorial and other cross-over capabilities one needs. It consists of two (2) main videocall capabilities: (A) P2P videocalls up to 8 persons, which is a true example of Far Edge communication, and (B) P2P ‘streaming’ supported from 8 persons and up, which combines Far Edge protocols with an auxiliary engine/server, while not storing any communication data (so, a hybrid of Edge and Far Edge). In the same manner, audiocalls are obviously also possible, next to screen sharing.

NTF High Secure Communication Platform has been built from scratch, ground-up based on open standards and P2P protocols, with security and privacy by design by default, GDPR-compliant, and for instance without the use of any third party libraries. So, in short, 100% Dutch/EU native source code, run on Dutch/EU ISPs. Other notable capabilities can be found here: https://www.newtrustfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/NTFPlatform_Secure-ConvenientCommunication_MostNotableCapabilities_v2022.pdf.

Pavnext has developed and patented a solution to promote road safety and produce clean energy in the urban environment in a disruptive way. The NEXT-Road is a technological device to implement in the road pavement, that harvests kinetic energy from vehicles, allowing to reduce their speed without requiring any driver action. When implemented before crosswalks, this solution is able to increase the safety level of the crosswalk by, at least, 70%. The energy harvested from vehicles is then converted into electric energy with a very high efficiency, which is then stored outside the pavement, and used to power multiple electric applications – both signalling and other road safety devices, as well as to power electric mobility, promoting sustainable cities. This solution also monitors traffic and energy data, presenting it to municipalities through an application developed by Pavnext, promoting Smart Cities. The solution was implemented and tested in the city of Matosinhos, Portugal.

Environment assessment is increasingly acknowledged as an important planning tool having an impact in the health of citizens. As an example, the health and wellbeing of people living in cities are greatly improved where natural green spaces are present in their neighbourhood. With tangible benefits such as an improvement in air quality combined with cognitive effects of being in urban green spaces, urban trees and other green infrastructure are becoming a priority for city authorities and citizens to support healthy living urban areas.

As an example, urban residents suffering from stress experience less anxiety when they have a view of trees. Trees also reduce the symptoms of asthma by intercepting harmful particles. Air pollution has been shown to have an important effect on cognitive capabilities of children.

GreenDex (https://greendex.es/) will translate vegetation observed from satellite data to an easily interpretable value (Gx), quantifying the vegetation present around you. The higher the green intensity of the index (Gx), the healthier!

The evaluation of the product will allow us to estimate the potential health and wellbeing benefits. The collected data would include indicators on general health, mental health, well-being, neurophysiological assessments, and time spent in and perceived quality of the green spaces, such as: use of green spaces, visual exposure to green spaces, satisfaction with green spaces, perceived mental health, self-reported mental health and wellbeing, perceived stress, self-reported anxiety, self-reported depression, current asthma and/or allergies…

To be able to detect a change in health and wellbeing indicators that could be attributed to the vegetation, data are collected in different surroundings for each green intensity index (Gx).

Maybe it can now be said that the driving assistance systems of today's modern vehicles save lives, but it is safe to say that they significantly help and support transport and driving. With our parking solution, we had the opportunity to participate in the final phase of the development of a new ADAS driving assistance system, where the final operation of the solution was demonstrated.
In cooperation with one of the most famous Hungarian driving support software startups, one of the major mobile service providers has developed a self-driving parking system that is fully self-driving in underground garages. The car needs to know the occupancy status of the parking slots and with this information it can go to the nearest empty parking space soonest.
For the demonstration of the self-driving parking system in Hungary, we delivered sensors for the parking spaces of the underground garages and managed to provide these data to the self-driving car. The Smart Parking sensor developed by us is able to transmit occupancy data using geomagnetic measurements to the server which finally sends to the self-driving car.

At the request of a leading insurance company in Hungary, we have made an end user equipment that can be easily installed by its customers. It helps to detect the most common damage events (pipe breakage, water intrusion, frost and fire damage) in time, reducing the amount of damage and thus the insurer's share. Our solution is a small unit with sensors based on NB-IoT data transmission, which sends the data to our central receiving software, from where it is transferred online to the insurance company. Customers are notified through a mobile app with push notifications. Inside the app they can check previous device alerts or status messages to make sure devices are working perfectly.

It is a challenge for Hungarian water utilities to locate faults in the tens of thousands kilometers of district pipelines running around the country, and to reduce loss of drinking water. During the project, we delivered NB-IoT consumption measuring devices to one of the regional water utility, which units were installed on the district supply meters. The device transmits hourly data to our application installed in Customer's data center. The central receiving application transmits this data to a SCADA application, that has been running there for a long time and by using a newly developed interface the water consumption of each district can be displayed in a central system. With the help of the higher resolution data provided by the system, the waterworks achieved better fault localization as a result of targeted interventions and restoration works on the pipeline network, thus reducing the amount of leakage caused by cracks and making its service more efficient.

*****
The aim of the project is to optimize the collection of selective waste and increase customer satisfaction in the field of supply of the local waste management public service provider. For this reason, as part of a project, we have installed load monitoring sensors on 102 public trash collector containers, which transmit the measured data to our central application via NB-IoT data network. This data is displayed in a user-friendly interface, where the service provider's specialists can see up-to-date information about the current waste level of containers, abnormal events (overturning, fire), browse historical data and organize the collection more efficiently supported by various reports. The second phase is currently underway, where a designated group of abroad installed containers in the service provider's supply area has been installed with sensors, significantly reducing the mileage of the collection vehicles, and enabling more optimal flight management, resulting in less environmental impact and financial savings. In the meantime, we have also developed a mobile application for our central application to plan the route of vehicles and to navigate the vehicle based on this.
