What is Forum Virium Helsinki? An innovation unit established in 2005, which develops urban solutions of the future These encompass smart mobility, robotics, artificial intelligence, data and the Internet of Things A non-profit limited liability company fully owned by the City of Helsinki Employs 35 top experts The unit operations are funded by the City of Helsinki and different EU projects with about EUR 5 million a year
What does Forum Virium Helsinki do? Smart city projects in Finland and EU countries Collaboration with companies, the scientific community and residents Digitalization of the City of Helsinki Our achievements: We made Helsinki data open to the public We turned Kalasatama into a smart city district Next we will bring robot buses onto the city s streets
Open Smart City IoT program
IoT can help us solve many challenges in Smart Cities
We could choose routes based on their air quality? People with baby pram could discover vacant pram spots in trams? What if We could be aware of the state of our environment in realtime? Spaces would adapt heating and AC according to their usage?

What s next?
Data-fueled services and systems create demand for Real-time data, personal data New ways of data collection through IoT, Smart City Connectivity Consent management (GDPR, mydata models)
How to put this valuable personal data to work?
MyData Vision The core idea is that individuals should be in control of their own data. The MyData approach aims at strengthening digital human rights while opening new opportunities for businesses to develop innovative personal data based services built on mutual trust.
