Welcome to Open & Agile Smart Cities & Communities, or OASC for short.
We are a global network of communities that assists local administrations of all sizes in their digital transformation. We work with our members, partners and independent experts to create sustainable impact for our communities via their digital tools and systems. We focus on interoperability, or how to combine datasets from different sources. This facilitates the seamless sharing and re-use of digital, data-driven solutions and helps to avoid vendor lock-in, to reduce costs and resources and improve efficiency. We do this via open standards (Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms) and APIs (application programming interfaces).
What we offer: Advocacy, Access to projects, Knowledge sharing, Capacity building, Tech tools, Member support
Join us in boosting cooperating and connecting communities.
