In an effort to leverage the promise of a system approach, ESPRESSO focuses on the development of a conceptual Smart City Information Framework based on open standards. This framework consists of a Smart City platform and a number of data provision and processing services to integrate relevant data, workflows, and processes.

ESPRESSO’s approach emphasizes cost reduction and will foster an open market for many actors, avoiding lock-in to proprietary solutions. European Smart City solutions that adopt these prescripts will be raised to the forefront worldwide.

Emphasize the benefits of standards in development of a smart city and implement of an open data platform based on non-proprietary technologies. ESPRESSO believes users, SME, as well as multi-national IT companies should get involved in setting the right standards for IoT / Smart Cities technologies. This would prevent vendor lock-ins and guarantee a common level playing field.
