Matchmaking
Find the right partner for your challenge
Please note: This service is not connected to the CommuniCity pilots. Through the CommuniCity project, we observed a strong demand and potential for collaboration beyond the project’s scope. Many cities and solution providers expressed interest in continuing their engagement and launching new initiatives together. As the needs of communities are too broad to be addressed by any single project, we created this platform to support ongoing, independent collaboration between cities and tech providers—helping ensure that innovation continues to bring positive impact where it’s needed most.
Who is this service for?
City administrations and public authorities seeking innovative solutions or support to address specific community needs.
Startups, companies and technology providers with ready-to-implement solutions or prototypes they wish to pilot in real-life environments.
Non-profit organisations and associations that understand local contexts and want to scale their community-based interventions.
Universities and research institutions looking to collaborate on applied projects and community-driven research.
