About the project

MAtchUP drives the transformation of Smart Cities in Europe, as part of the EU Smart Cities and Communities initiative.

Three Lighthouse cities – Valencia (ES), Dresden (DE), Ankara (TR) and five fellow cities – Kerava (FI), Ostend (BE), Skopje (MK), Herziliya (IL) – are involved in the project.
