Together with +CityxChange start-up, IOTA will take part in the pilot project on the development of the smart cities in Europe, Horizon 2020. Within the framework of the “smart city” concept from the EU, seven regions (Trondheim, Limerick, Alba-Julia, Pisek, Sestao, Smolyan and Võru) will integrate digital technologies to improve the energy-saving solutions over the next five years. + CityxChange will use IOTA blockchain to facilitate communication between various devices in order to ensure an environmentally friendly and sustainable urban environment. The project is planned to be launched in January 2019.
