How to use the  Swiss Smart City Compass for connecting with the right innovators and implementers:

Swiss Smart City Compass is designed to give a complete overview of Smart City projects in Switzerland. The platform helps you connect with a growing community of representatives from cities, companies and other organizations

The  Swiss Smart City Compass is made of amazing people that are passionate about exchanging knowledge on the future of our cities. To enable a great experience for this community we have set-up seven simple principles:

1. Be open: tell us and the rest of the community about your plans. Create posts about your current projects, what your ideas to improve the city are and what challenges you face.
2. Tell a story: people learn best from honest stories: make sure you tell great and insightful stories about your past achievements to spark the interest in your activities.
3. Let people find you: Don’t spam other community members with personal messages if they do not reply – rather create Posts to inform a wider audience about innovations, new content or opportunities to engage with your organization.
4. Be responsive: reply with comments to the posts of others to engage with them in productive dialogues and create the basis for future partnerships.
5. Challenge the community: ask questions that really matter to building smarter cities and lead own dialogues around them.
6. Be reliable: it’s not necessarily about the quantity of your interactions but about steady and high-quality interactions. Let the community know about your progress and maintain contact with other community members.
7. Make the most of the resources available: learn from others through Use Cases, understand what technologies exist and are capable of doing, get to know others and join discussions, and look for new opportunities in Events.
