Smart ICT for Sustainable Living in Stockholm Royal Seaport

Swedish ICT is leading an initiative aiming to detail a generic information and communication infrastructure for Stockholm Royal Seaport, a much talked about new city district of Stockholm. The VINNOVA-funded project, Smart ICT for living and working in Stockholm Royal Seaport, engages about a dozen small and large companies from the telecom sector, construction companies, and the City of Stockholm.

The aim is at developing an open and generic ICT infrastructure, which is a decisive factor for future sustainable cities characterized by openness, cooperation, and innovation. Today´s ICT solutions are industry specific and consist of closed, proprietary systems, resulting in unnecessary costs and resource consumption, with limited potential for innovation and new services. A generic solution will be able to fulfill the needs of many business segments, such as transportation, health, energy, and media.
