Smart Open Lisboa is here! The new startup program that will revolutionise Lisbon’s city life by challenging startups to solve some of the city’s most interesting issues with open data, was just launched.
Yesterday, at Beta-i, we had the kick-off session to finally introduce this open data program to the world. Thanks to all the partners of this project, the Municipality of Lisbon, PT, Cisco, Turismo de Portugal and Startup Lisboa, startups will have access to all the relevant open data to build solutions for real problems within the city of Lisbon.
We’re officially turning Lisbon into a living lab. Find out more about the program in our recently released website and make sure you follow Smart Open Lisbon on Facebook and Twitter to get the latest updates.
In the meantime, check out some of the photos of the kick-off session below:

We’re officially turning Lisbon into a living lab
Imagine you had access to all aggregated information of the city you live in: how many people live there, their age profile, crime statistics, traffic statistics, signal coverage, etc. Imagine the great products you could build with that? Products that would actually improve the lives of millions of people.
So, that’s exactly the goal of Smart Open Lisboa, an open innovation program where startups will get to use the city’s open data to develop and test their solutions in real life conditions.
We want to turn Lisbon into a living lab, by solving the city’s most interesting challenges and improve the lives of millions. Thanks to all the partners of this program, the Municipality of Lisbon, PT, Cisco and Turismo de Portugal, we’ll have enormous amounts of open data to explore. You just need to know where to start…
And for this reason, we’ll be having the Smart Open Lisboa kick-off session at Beta-i, next Thursday, 5th of May, at 6pm, to explain what is open data and to talk about other Smart Cities and how they evolved by making this kind of data available for startups to use.
Join us next Thursday and find out more about open data and smart cities, and the endless possibilities it can create. Let’s upgrade Lisbon’s city life.
Remember to register here for the event.
