State-of-the-Art Implementation Examples
Within SP1, three state-of-the-art implementation examples were analyzed: CMS Urban Data Platform in Lyon, Digital Twin in Munich, and Golemio in Prague. These examples demonstrate how state-of-the-art business model patterns can be adapted to local realities and needs, integrating digital infrastructure and ICT tools. Detailed descriptions of these solutions, including technologies, business models, funding mechanisms, procurement procedures, and governance models, are available in the Annex.
Technologies and Tools
- All three solutions employ Digital Twin (DT), Urban Data Platform (UDP), and Cockpit and Dashboards (CD), designed for scalability.
Funding and Monetization
- Currently rely on public subsidies and internal municipal funding rather than external funding and self-sustaining monetization mechanisms.
- Potential revenue streams include subscription-based models (D_Rev_SM; D_Rev_UF) and cost savings from efficient procedures (D_Sav_PO).
Governance and Procurement
- CMS and Golemio operate under the SPV governance model with CCPU procurement procedures.
- Munich's Digital Twin is managed in-house under the City Mission governance model.
