HOW TO JOIN

The DMI ecosystem is for governments, companies and knowledge institutions. Anyone who wants to contribute to the smart and sustainable design and functioning of our cities can participate. Together we build smart, livable and future-proof cities.

The DMI ecosystem provides visibility into potential collaboration partners and new knowledge, government policies and business opportunities. Participation is entirely voluntary, but not without obligation. 

 

Good cooperation requires agreements. Therefore, a System of Agreements has been set up to provide a solid foundation of mutual trust, with ground rules for all participants. Think of conditions for joining the ecosystem, rights and obligations, protocols for data access and use of General Facilities.

The DMI ecosystem helps us in the exchange of knowledge to tackle cross-municipal tasks together. Many municipalities are working on similar tasks.

From the municipality of Dordrecht, we see DMI as a strength. Namely, we can now cooperate in a constructive and innovative way with both business and knowledge institutions and other governments.

We want to make our environment more sustainable, healthier, accessible and attractive. To realize these ambitions, we need to look broader. That is why we have joined the DMI ecosystem.

Dana Zijlmans, mobility advisor at Zwolle Municipality

"The DMI ecosystem helps us in the exchange of knowledge to tackle cross-municipal tasks with each other. Many municipalities are working on similar tasks. For us this includes mobility, housing and more data-driven work. Within DMI we learn from other municipalities, businesses and knowledge institutions. We look with them at existing and new solutions for us. Mobility renewal and urbanization require an integrated approach from different disciplines. The complexity requires a data-driven approach and other forms of collaboration between the market and government. The DMI ecosystem provides a safe environment for this in which we learn and share together."

Gemma Smid, director of Social Domain, Municipality of Dordrecht

"From the municipality of Dordrecht, we see DMI as a strength. After all, we can now cooperate in a constructive and innovative way with both business and knowledge institutions and other governments.

We all have, in the physical domain, similar tasks. It's nice to look at solutions and ideas together and make sure they are scalable. With several you are stronger. As a municipality we are now busy building in an urban area, which raises all sorts of questions about other mobility and building. Help from DMI in developing solutions -certainly for our rail zone- for this task is welcome."

Sebastiaan Dommeck, parking/MaaS and shared mobility advisor, Amsersfoort municipality

"We want to make our environment more sustainable, healthier, accessible and attractive. To realize these ambitions, we need to look broader. That is why we have joined the DMI ecosystem. It brings us even more insight into the tasks at hand. We are mostly concerned with partial mobility, livable environment and housing policy. More municipalities have these tasks. We can learn from each other. Working together is nice and necessary. We also want more grip on data. And that is possible by connecting various data organizations within DMI."
