The platform in Prague is constituted mostly by a team of experts – consultants and analysts, the SW is only their tool

The aim of this project is to create a united platform for data from the Smart City area, which is the area of sensor data and data from new technologies and applications. We do not want to be a data graveyard for all the data of all the municipal IT systems which would end without further purpose and utilization.

A team of consultants and analysts of the Golemio project provides Prague (the city hall, municipal districts, and companies) with the service of data analysis and development. More can be found on www.golemio.cz/en
