„The CITI Cluster is to be established as a collaborative platform – an innovative network of companies, organisations and higher education institutions – which aims to develop smart city solutions and build the future Smart City. To this end, we want partner companies which share the same vision and desire to transform the way we live, work and interact in the urban environment to join our initiative,” a press release shows.
