Each of the selected suppliers will receive a maximum of 80.000 Euro to work on a prototype of their project, based on lean principles and agile methods. They will be supported in this by the partner cities of the AI4Cities project – each city has been paired to two solutions in each Lot. The suppliers have three months to do work on their prototype, following which the Buyers Group will decide which contractors go on to Phase 3 of the project. In this Phase the developed solutions will be tested in a minimum of two cities.
