This document discusses the CPaaS.io project, a joint R&D project between Europe and Japan aiming to create an open social city platform. The project aims to develop an open city platform as a service that empowers citizens with their own data and validates the platform with use cases to provide public value. It received 3.2 million euro in funding over 2.5 years from the EU and Japanese government. The platform combines IoT, big data, and cloud services to connect technologies, citizens, and cities.

EU-Japan Project CPaaS.io
City Platform as a Service – Integrated and Open
Smart City Innovation is the goal of the CPaaS.io
joint R&D project between Europe and Japan. This
means creating value for the society and all actors
in the city environment – people, private
enterprises, public administrations.
To achieve this, the CPaaS.io platform combines the
capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT), big data
analytics and cloud service provisioning with Open
Government Data and Linked Data approaches.
