Paragraphs

Global Mixer MIMs

Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms (MIMs) are universal tools for achieving interoperability of data, systems, and services between cities and suppliers around the world. They were first developed in the environment of the Open & Agile Smart Cities & Communities (OASC), a global network of communities working on digital transformation. 

MIMs were developed to achieve interoperability based on a minimal common ground, taking into account the different backgrounds of cities. Cities and communities can integrate them in existing systems and offerings. In this event, we will learn about the very core of how vendor lock-ins can be avoided and what challenges lie ahead of the movement.

The event is part of the ISCN Global Mixer, a series of events organized by the International Smart Cities Network. The presentations cover a wide range of topics related to international smart city approaches and provide exciting insights into urban digitalization worldwide - in just 30 minutes.
