What is CitiVerse?
The CitiVerse is a new kind of digital space where European cities connect, collaborate, and co-create solutions for real-world challenges. It’s where cities use shared digital tools and data to work smarter, plan better, and involve their citizens more directly in shaping urban life.
At the heart of the CitiVerse are technologies like digital twins real-time virtual models of cities that allow citizens, planners, and policymakers to simulate changes, test ideas, and make informed decisions together. Whether it’s improving traffic flow, redesigning public spaces, or responding to climate risks, the CitiVerse helps cities act faster, more transparently, and more effectively.
The European Union supports the CitiVerse because it enables cities of all sizes to access advanced digital capabilities and work as part of a shared European ecosystem. It’s about strengthening digital sovereignty, promoting inclusive innovation, and making sure every city and every citizen can benefit from the digital transformation.
Four CitiVerse projects, one shared European vision
The European Union is co-funding four pioneering projects that together form the foundation of the CitiVerse. While each has its own focus, they actively collaborate to exchange knowledge, align approaches, and maximize collective impact. Together they form a strong and complementary ecosystem and are shaping the future of Europe’s digital urban spaces. By working in sync, they ensure that the CitiVerse is not just a concept, but a real, practical and inclusive future for European cities.
