Project description
Empowering smart cities
Smart cities are growing worldwide. Here traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies. The shift now, is to e-government, allowing end users to resort to better decision-making policies by tapping into the collective intelligence of their constituents to create solutions to some of the most challenging issues. The EU-funded Geme.io provides for a unique application where users can filter for relevant, timely location-based information according to preference. The application is free of charge.
Objective
While smart cities initially focused on connecting infrastructure for better insights, the spotlight is slowly shifting to e-government. Cities are providing data to end-users to drive better decision-making. They tap into the collective intelligence of their constituents to create solutions around some of the toughest urban problems. Armed with the right data and tools, citizens can become more proactive, connected, collaborative, and participative in the smart city movement, and businesses can raise productivity and thereby the competitiveness of their City.
Geme.io is a single and the one and only scalable app solution in which users (consumers, citizens, businesses, government officials), can filter for relevant, timely location-based information according to preference. Users can create their own information that is timely surrounding their current location on a virtual map, no matter the location, geared at everything that they need or want to know.
In order to reap the benefits of e-government of more efficiency, savings, transparency and participation, Geme.io - a proximity and location-based urban tech app platform - can play an important role, e.g. with integration of voice assistants, wearables, sensors and a City’s cloud application.
Download of the app is free of charge for anybody and one can find location-based relevant information and manually create own location markers -Gemies. We will charge a monthly subscription fee for our services; organizations, businesses and cities will pay to find reports with relevant location-based information or pay for a customized interface, or use our APIs to automate dissemination of information.
Our management team consists of three Danes living in different cities that face different challenges. One of us has a child in a wheelchair, one had a family member living in a highly air polluted city and suffering from cancer and one of us is passionate about empowering and engaging citizens in their local community.
