Training: Building smart cities services 2.0
Are you a data-driven company in the Uusimaa region? Register for our free training, workshops, and learning circle sessions!
MyData Global’s Human-Centric Companies and Cities (H3C) project helps companies and cities use personal data to make cities smarter.
MyData Global is providing free training and networking opportunities for cities and data-driven companies. This will build capacity and help companies and cities develop services that use personal data ethically.
The project is intended for companies that want to achieve a competitive edge by exploring how public-private partnerships can successfully use personal data to make cities smarter.
You will learn about business models, compliance with complex regulatory regimes, standards, and governance mechanisms. You will be connected with EU funding opportunities, and you will learn how to build successful partnerships with companies and cities. After the training, your company will be well-positioned to capitalise on the growing smart city and human-centric personal data trend in Finland and abroad.
Format
The training includes five 2-hour sessions (one session / month). There will be two batches – one starting in November, the other in January. You can choose the batch you want to join. Additionally, there will be two learning circles, consultations and networking events delivered by MyData Global’s & other experts.
Our team is well versed in human-centric design and balancing the differing business, legal, technical, and societal considerations when creating products and services.
You will become part of a professional network with your fellow city administration and company colleagues, with whom we will facilitate discussion and troubleshooting. The training is delivered in two batches (Nov-April and Dec-May). Space is limited, and registrations will be considered on a first come, first served basis.
Participation in H3C is free of charge.
