  • Unlocking Development Opportunities with Generative AI in Härnösand

    The rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, have created exciting possibilities for its application in the public sector. In Härnösand, we recognize the potential of leveraging AI technology to meet the needs of our municipality. With a focus on security, transparency, and user-friendliness, we are embracing a tailored AI platform to drive innovation and improve services.

    Through MetaCity, a collaborative initiative within the municipality's administration, we are developing AI-driven services to support both residents and employees. This exciting project also includes the municipality of Örnsköldsvik, strengthening regional cooperation. One of the initial outcomes is the creation of assistants, or chatbots, designed to serve as reliable and efficient support tools. The platform at the heart of this project, AI platform Intric, is funded by the MetaCity initiative.

  • Midpoint Milestones for the URBACT EcoCore Network: A Review of Test Actions Across Partner Cities

     

    As the EcoCore network reaches its halfway point, the nine partner cities across Europe have made significant strides in their shared mission to proactively work with stakeholders to put in place the conditions required to capitalise on the opportunities of the green transition.


    To date, the network has travelled to six of the nine partner cities to participate in core network meetings, see good practices firsthand, and exchange on challenges and opportunities related to the green transition. Cities visited so far include Balbriggan, Santo Tirso, Parnu, Tuusula, Kekava, and Villena. In 2025, partners will visit Ormoz, Alba Iulia, and Dubrovnik.
