The VICINITY project will build and demonstrate a platform and ecosystem that provides "interoperability as a service" for infrastructures in the Internet-of-Things (IoT). The approach is bottom-up, decentralized and user-centric and involved in standardization without relying on a single standard.

Project Acronym: VICINITY
Full Project Title: Open virtual neighbourhood network to connect IoT infrastructures and smart objects
Programme: H2020-ICT-30-2015
Start: January 1st, 2016
Duration: 48 months

The VICINITY project’s solution will provide an IoT platform that is able to connect so far isolated islands, and that allows integration of end-users and creation of new business models. VICINITY strives for large-scale demonstration of the applicability of the solution in different use cases that implement and demonstrate different value-added services on top of the VICINITY platform.
