A huge amount of data is being generated all the time, all around us. Helsinki collects a lot of information on the likes of the urban environment and how customers use the City’s services.
Helsinki harnesses its vast data reserves to make better decisions and make the city the most functional in the world.
Helsinki has been transformed into a comprehensive 3D model that will be further refined into a digital twin. This will help the City develop and model ideas that would be difficult to test in the real world.
Helsinki is one of the leading cities in opening up data. Open data can be used in research or the development of new services, for example. Open data and interfaces also allow companies and communities to innovate services, rather than having the City invent and produce everything itself.
Helsinki will define ethical principles for the use of data and artificial intelligence. It is important that every resident knows what information Helsinki has about them and can influence how the City uses this data. Helsinki utilises data responsibly with the permission of its residents,
for the benefit of the residents.
Projects
What?
Efforts to solve the complex problems of society can benefit from the use of data ecosystems that utilise information from several organisations.
Who?
For organisations that want to find solutions to our shared problems together with other players by sharing and utilising each other’s data.
Why?
The goal of the Hedeko project is to promote the resolution of joint challenges and the development of data-based services by supporting experiments and supporting the city’s abilities to operate in data ecosystems. By working together, using a large database and taking advantage of the latest technology, we can tackle problems and develop services in a much more effective way.
