A total of 31 European and Brazilian cities have teamed up to create a new initiative, dubbed Open & Agile Smart Cities Task Force (OASC), designed to make it easier for city councils and startups to improve smart city services. The initiative will be presented at CeBit in Hannover and will be based on the EU-funded Fiware open source platform. Fiware offers cloud-based building blocks that can be used to develop and deploy advanced internet applications for transport, energy efficiency, environmental or e-health services.

The EC said the deal between six cities from Brazil and 25 cities from six EU countries (Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Portugal and Spain) will allow them to share their open data (collected from sensors measuring, for example, traffic flows) so that startups can develop apps and tools that benefit all citizens (for example, an app with traffic information for people on the move). In addition, these systems will be shared between cities “so that an app with transport information developed in city A can be also adopted by city B, without the latter having to develop it from scratch,” said the EC. The Fiware platform will also give startups and app developers in these cities access to a global market for smart city services.

The cities that have signed up to the initiative are Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Aalborg, Helsinki, Tampere, Espoo, Vantaa, Oulu, Turku, Milan, Palermo, Lecce, Lisbon, Porto, Penala, Fundao, Palmela, Agueda, Valencia, Santander, Malaga and Seville in the EU, and Olinda, Anapolis, Porto Alegre, Vitoria, Colinas de Tocantins and Taquaritinga in Brazil.
