About the project

What is EDINT?

At a critical moment for the development of smarter, more sustainable areas, EDINT (Data Spaces for Smart Urban Infrastructures) positions itself as a cutting-edge platform for managing and leveraging urban data.

Driven and led by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), and funded by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, in collaboration with the Ministry for Digital Transformation and the Civil Service, through Red.es, this project is based on collaboration as the key to unlocking the potential that lies in the information from our municipalities. The fundamental pillar of the EDINT project is cooperation between key stakeholders—such as public administrations, companies, universities, and citizens—to create opportunities around the new data economy.

The EDINT initiative is based on the study and analysis of shared data to act in three major areas of impact: improving public services, fostering innovation and local employment, and boosting collaboration.

Identify patterns and needs that help anticipate issues in mobility, energy consumption, or public services.
Integrate data from different sources to gain a comprehensive view of the area and how it is evolving.
Turn data into practical tools—translated into indicators, interactive maps, or dashboards—that guide both managers and citizens.
