The document discusses plans for a "Digital Floriade" in Almere, Netherlands in 2022: 1) It will create a "digital twin" of the Floriade international horticultural expo using a 4D geo information model for collaboration between participants, area development, enhancing the event experience, and data-driven policymaking and innovation. 2) The digital twin will integrate an open data platform and exchange information to support the expo, horticultural quarter development, and long-term city planning in Almere. 3) Ensuring the digital twin is interoperable, uses proven cutting-edge technology, has long-term maintenance, and avoids vendor lock-in will be

4. Almere’s Digital Floriade
4D Geo Information Model to serve as a ‘digital twin’ to the International
Horticultural Expo Floriade 2022
Foundation for:
1. Digital collaboration beween participants (from engineering to maintenance to
services – and publication
2. Area development
3. Enhanced event experience before, during and after the event
4. Data-driven policymaking and innovation (logistics, asset management, energy-
management, crowd control, mobiliity, parkmanagement

7. When building a digital twin that is operable in
2022….
• Making sure it is interoperable with sister cities dataplatforms
(Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Hilversum, national roads engineering agency)
• Making sure you adopt proven yet cutting edge technology ….
• … that will be maintained and innovated for years to come
• One multipurpose infrastructure for multiple usecases that adds to and
builds on existing layers
• Building a consortium (connectivity, area development, service delivery)
• Safety, security, trust by design requires concertation (eID, triple helix
digital trust framework)
• Avoiding vendor lock-in
• Serviced by seasoned operators
• Contracting by individual cities, joint upscaling by individual cities,
• Frontrunners (cities, business) tackle practical obstacles together.
