32. Would it be great if/to…!
§ Use Kalasatama as platform to do development and
demonstration of scalability and exportability of Tartu
SMEs’ smart city products"
– joint project possibilities for cluster companies?"
– instant compatibility with CitySDK EU countries + open
source assets"
– (also, Finland starts to import Palveluväylä)"
§ Engage in public tender consortiums in Kalasatama
development"
– e.g. mobile positioning data and it’s reuse on “liikenteen
tilannekuva” just started market dialogue"
§ Plan together cross-border smart city living lab
services? (e.g. BALTSMART FP7 2012, new ERDF)"
