"The cities of Europe increasingly recognize the significance of mobile apps for city and tourism marketing. The pioneers of this practice are cities like Bremen, Berlin-Reinickendorf and Meerbusch, the ski resort Arosa and the community of Richterswil on Lake Zurich", explains CEO Matthias Kant who, together with his development team, had precisely met the expectations of the jury. German Interior Minister Friedrich was convinced of the participants' performance in general: "You have shown us what creative potential lies in open administrative data."
