The vision of ALMANAC is to develop a comprehensive platform that enables the definition of an integrated Smart City information system for green and sustainable Smart City applications. This includes the creation of business models based on public-private partnerships, combining business needs with governance requirements as well as active citizen engagement.

In terms of network infrastructure, ALMANAC will ensure interoperability by supporting authorised data flows among private and/or public networks originally designed to achieve specific goals, therefore characterised by heterogeneous architectures, technologies, performance, architecture and policies.
