Cittopia turns every city's open data into a comparable public profile — then matches cities to the right partner cities and EU funding calls, and helps them hear their citizens. All on one platform.
Why Cittopia
€1.1 trillion smart-city market by 2028. 880+ EU cities publish open data. Yet city-to-city collaboration still happens by phone calls, ad-hoc emails, and political ties — not data.
Eurostat, OSM, municipal portals, IoT sensors — all in different schemas, languages, and refresh cadences. No city can compare itself to peers without manual work.
Sister-city programmes still rely on historical political ties. There's no programmatic way for cities to find peers facing the same urban problems right now.
Every city claims sustainability leadership. Without a transparent, comparable scoring system, citizens and funders can't tell who's actually delivering.
Cittopia is the operating system that turns the open-data flood into measurable urban climate action.
Demo cohort · live today
A working demonstration of the platform with real open data from 7 portals across 5 continents.
Open data in — partnerships, EU funding, and citizen trust out.
The Pulse turns your open data into a comparable public profile — 9 dimensions, every figure source-linked to Eurostat and municipal portals. No surveys, no self-reporting.
The matchmaking engine pairs your city with the partners it should actually be talking to — by shared challenges and complementary strengths, not ceremony.
Cittopia scans EU calls, checks your country's eligibility rules, and computes the partner gap — which consortium partners you still need — then routes you to matched cities to fill it.
The Agora runs your consultations, and the Listening Score measures whether citizen input actually changed decisions — publicly, comparably, honestly.
Powered by open data
No fabricated numbers. Every figure on Cittopia is traceable to an official open-data portal — with the link to the source on every city profile.
