In its initiative to apply modern day technology to better the all-around welfare of its citizens, Vienna called into existence the so-called Smart City Vienna initiative in 2014.
The Smart City initiative takes into account the different fields that needs evolve such as energy, mobility, real estate, communications and others.
Each of these aspects has well-defined target objectives in order to provide transparency and a sense of urgency and blockchain is a key factor to realize these goals.
According to Ulrike Huemer, CIO of Vienna, the city of Vienna has been exploring blockchain technology and they wanted to use the said technology to drive the city’s digitization and the associated guiding themes of transparency, openness, trust, and citizen participation.
She reveals that from the very start, they knew the only way to test blockchain technology’s potential was by learning by doing and that is what they are exactly doing.
