The project aims to deliver cloud-enabled infrastructure and services to government bodies, facilitating the deployment and migration of public services to the cloud. It includes the creation of a strategic marketplace for public cloud services, tools for service development, and solutions for cross-border cooperation among EU organizations. The project also involves pilot implementations in municipalities like Camden, Genoa, and Stari Grad, with a total duration of 36 months and a budget of €4.76 million.

7. Marketplace of public services
STRATEGIC marketplace of public
services supports the co-existence and
operation of multiple cloud services that
can also be re-used or combined for the
creation of new cloud services.
Development tools are also provided to
ease of the development of the services
to be deployed.
