On Tuesday 1st of July, Citadel on the Move received a warm welcome from the ODI members, gathered in the Wallace Space, London for the morning ODI 'membership 101 session'.

Partner 21c was invited to speak about the Citadel solution and answer all questions related to the project. Citadel team started by introducing Citadel objectives and current developments to the audience, then explained how the solution plans on using the power of Open Data to encourage citizens to innovate and contribute in building smarter cities. Finally, a business case for the solution was presented, illustrated with examples why Citadel is different from other solutions. There is no wonder as to why so many cities around the world are interested in adopting it. Citadel offers free guidance to cities and a platform where people without technical skills can build apps using the available datasets or even add their own. The extensive showcase of the Citadel features was followed by a series of questions. Almost everyone wanted to know more! Even after the session was finished, the Citadel team continued the Q&A during break time and promised to share more information with anyone interested. So if you still have some questions feel free to give us a shout!
