About OASC:

The Open & Agile Smart Cities initiative (OASC) is a city-driven, non-profit organisation. The overall objective is to create a Smart City market. OASC was founded in January 2015 and came to life with the first wave of cities joining in March 2015. 

OASC aims to kickstart the use of a shared set of ways to develop systems once for multiple cities and make them interoperable between cities, and within a city. Furthermore, comparability, easy sharing of best practices, and avoiding vendor lock-in is necessary to enhance a Smart City: OASC, thus, provides linkage – to cities all over the world and to (EU) funding – and advocates de facto standards for participating cities.

Who’s Invited?

 

  • OASC city representatives and partners
  • Cities, companies, NGOs and researchers interested in human-centred IoT market creation
  • Smart city project representatives of pursuing synergies with other European and global initiatives
  • SMEs, companies and digital entrepreneurs working with IoT and urban innovation
  • Programme and policy officers from the European Commission, development organisations, institutional investors, cities, regions and national governments
  • City networks representatives
  • Change makers in cities, academia and business
  • Interested professionals
