WeLive (a new concept of public administration based on citizen co-created mobile urban services) is a Horizon2020 funded project, which started in February 2015 and continues to the end of 2018. The project aims to transform the administration-centred model of designing public digital services into a new kind of open innovation process which enables the participation of citizens, companies, educational institutions and public actors. The project aims to make extensive use of service design methods, which enable different actors to participate together in defining and developing services as well as creating business. 

In addition, the project endeavours to harness unprocessed information (open data) that has been accumulated by public administration, organisations, companies and private citizens into new service innovations co-created by various actors. Another objective is to create an innovation platform for making use of open data, and tools and business models that facilitate co-creation.
