The 4 EU co-funded CitiVerse projects SENSE, European Citiverses Uniting for Inclusiveness, 3DxVERSE and x-CITE work actively together in several working groups. During the Smart City Expo they will hold their next closed meetings and will give a joint breakout session ‘Four CitiVerse projects, one shared European vision’. Want to get up to speed on Europe’s CitiVerse in just 30 minutes? Then this session is for you. The projects will show how a human-centred CitiVerse—an urban digital ecosystem—becomes real through local digital twins, AI (artificial intelligence) and XR (extended reality). You’ll learn more about the very first use cases and how CitiVerse applications can measurably improve how cities are planned, built, and experienced.
Join us for this breakout session on 5 November 2025, 17:45–18:15, at the People First Stage. The session is hosted by Karl-Filip Coenegrachts, Chair of the Governing Body & Executive Director at OASC, with as panel the project coordinators Marko Teräs (x-CITE, City of Tampere), Anna Wennblad (European Citiverses Uniting for Inclusiveness, Lindholmen Science Park), Antonio J. Jara (SENSE, Libelium), and Eusebiu Catana (3DxVERSE, ERTICO-ITS Europe). Expect concrete examples, honest lessons learned, and clear takeaways you can replicate.
Join us at the Smart City Expo 2025 and leave with actionable ideas to make your city smarter, greener and more democratic.
