In the past month, several apps such as the CovApp have surfaced on the internet.

Their main goal is to target infected individuals and retrace their whereabouts to help identify potentially infected people.

But why and how could this affect Smart Cities ?

Well, the answer is simple. Data management is one of the key activities of Smart Cities.

By controlling traffic flux in heavily frequented areas such as public buildings, parks, train stations and airports, Smart City data centers could easily target and identify virus carriers.

The information could then be passed on to local Healthcare centers which will contact the aforementioned individuals and invite them to a medical check-up.

The Covid-19 crisis has shown the world the importance of traceability, transparency and a country’s capacity to take immediate action.

In this regard, could Smart Cities be part of such a solution ?

Great News about Cleverly – the clever app for your home!

After an intensive week in February 2020 and the following weeks, we have submitted our project to the Energy Challenge 2020 of the Canton of Neuchâtel.

Cleverly is therefore competing with various other projects for the initial investment of CHF 3’000.–. This seed capital will help us to create a first prototype of our app and start our collaboration with partners such as local governments, communities and corporations.

We strongly believe that a community platform is needed to transform our future into a bright, electrifying one! We will keep you updated.
