MAtchUP
MAtchUP is an EU-funded Smart City project involving three lighthouse cities Valencia (Spain), Dresden (Germany) and Antalya (Turkey) and four follower cities Ostend (Belgium), Herzliya (Israel), Skopje and Kerava (Finland). MAtchUP cities will join forces to reshape their social, economic and environmental models and to promote social inclusion, liveability and prosperity for their citizens.
MAtchUP will design and implement a palette of innovative solutions in the energy, mobility and ICT sectors that will serve as a model of urban transformation for other cities in Europe and beyond.
MAtchUP foresees dedicated actions to improve the share of renewable energy, increase the sustainable mobility and invest on technology. The aim is to repaint cities with brighter solutions at the disposal of their smart communities. These solutions will boost local economies and their quality of life. Furthermore will serve as model for replication in other cities and will lead to an urban transformation driven by citizens and stakeholders.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 774477.
