Smart City

Forum Virium Helsinki’s Smart City Project Area is involved in the development of digital urban services that make travelling and living in the city easier. The services are used with mobile devices and they are an integral part of their urban environment.

This Project Area focuses especially on ubiquitous technology - technologies that are thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. These services involve real-time traffic information for citizens, among others. Another area within the Smart City Projects is opening of public data. With open access to public data, new and more versatile services are created by individuals and companies.

Smart city services are tested in the Helsinki Metropolitan area as part of people’s every day life. The goal is to keep the area as one of the leading testing environments for digital services.
